<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mynamespat, post: 2627043, member: 83738&quot;]I think the argument that the grading company graded it correctly with information we don&#039;t have looking at a seller&#039;s photos is strongest.&nbsp; Maybe the edges of the devices show obvious signs of a vice job.&nbsp; Maybe the coin was already in PCGS&#039;s database or pedigreed elsewhere from before it was altered.&nbsp; I would lean towards the latter considering this is such a small population to begin with.&nbsp; </p><p>I don&#039;t think we can assume that mistakes didn&#039;t leave the mint.&nbsp; Even if it didn&#039;t have any monetary worth or collectors desirability at the time, people just tend to collect things which they find interesting.&nbsp; I have a small collection of tooling and parts that were mutilated by machine crashes.&nbsp; They don&#039;t have any sort of value other than the base metal, but I think they&#039;re cool.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
