Message:: [QUOTE="HandsomeToad, post: 517802, member: 12965"]Here's an interesting one: <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/1800-98-S-191-R2-Draped-Bust-Large-Cent-VG-Details_W0QQitemZ290295008399" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cgi.ebay.com/1800-98-S-191-R2-Draped-Bust-Large-Cent-VG-Details_W0QQitemZ290295008399" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/1800-98-S-191-R2-Draped-Bust-Large-Cent-VG-Details_W0QQitemZ290295008399</a> That one is slabbed (SEGS) and attributed by the TPG (S-191), but guess what, they got it wrong!  :whistle:  This one is so easy to spot, since a S-191 is a 1st hairstyle and this one is a 2nd hairstyle and appears to be a S-196, which is the most common 1800 overdate.  :goofer:  Furthermore, the 1st hairstyle is generally worth more than the 2nd hairstyle (barring varieties) so some poor smuck is going to be conned into paying more for this when it is way overgraded, misattributed, and even I wouldn't consider adding it to my poor little beat up copper collection.  :goof: So this goes to show that not only are sellers clueless, you can't even trust TPG's and don't think it's limited to the lower end TPG's, even PCGS gets attributions wrong.  <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Ribbit  <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
