<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iPen, post: 2419311, member: 69760&quot;]I purchased an &quot;1892&quot; Columbian Expo half dollar that was slabbed in error by PCGS. It&#039;s really an 1893, as you can tell from the photo of the coin. I checked to make sure that there were no cracks in the slab and there are none. The PCGS certification number comes up as an 1892 in the system.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not too concerned of any fakes or a coin switch, as the grade appears to be correct. There&#039;s original cartwheel luster, amazing toning, etc. What I am wondering though is if the graders missed some other details. Though, someone else other than the graders was probably in charge of the data entry.</p><p><br /></p><p>I see on the obverse to the left of the bust what appears to be a struck through error. I took a photo of it (shown below) but it may be difficult to make it out from the image I took, but it&#039;s really easy to tell in-person. Otherwise, I&#039;m surprised that such a deep and long 1/2 cm gash/scratch would grade. Any thoughts on that?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks in advance!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee451/kovacs22/P1080380_zpsgmc8jrnq.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee451/kovacs22/P1080379_zpsht0sel81.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee451/kovacs22/P1080381_zpskze8iaps.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee451/kovacs22/P1080382_zpsxpmr7cin.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee451/kovacs22/P1080383_zpspfxcc6pn.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
