<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TypeCoin971793, post: 3109228, member: 78244&quot;]Putting the wrong date/mintmark/type/denomination on the label is a mechanical error. Mistakes happen, especially with the volume of coins they go through. People claiming that these mistakes show the unreliability of TPG’s are completely wrong.</p><p><br /></p><p>Certifying a BU early Lincoln cent as a matte proof, or a 1942 D dime with MD as a 1942/1, or a normal 1964 Proof Kennedy as an Accented Hair, or putting a date and FB designation on this off-center dime are NOT mechanical errors. Claiming that they are is just PCGS’s way of saying “we are not liable for not looking closely enough and verifying the coin before slabbing it.”</p><p><br /></p><p>And my examples are actual examples. The MPL mistake was a 1909 VDB posted here, the 1942/1 D mistake was posted on CCF, and the accented hair mistake was a story told by [USER=66]@Conder101[/USER]. PCGS even posted in the 1909 VDB thread saying it was a “mechanical error” and not a goof-up of their experts.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
