[QUOTE="Gam3rBlake, post: 8136195, member: 115909"]Why would it have a markup? I think it would be bad because the PCGS guarantee specifically exempts coins like that from their guarantee which is the whole point of having the coin graded. It says: "the PCGS Guarantee does not cover obvious clerical errors, what we call "mechanical errors." The key concept is how obvious the error is to the naked eye. If you can easily tell just by looking at the coin that the description on the holder is wrong, then the coin/holder combination is not covered by the PCGS Guarantee. Examples would include the following: [LIST] [*]A date listed on the holder that does not match the date of the coin. For example, if you had a 1928 $20 St. Gaudens, but the PCGS holder showed the date as 1929 (a much more valuable coin), this coin would not be covered by the PCGS Guarantee as the date on the coin itself is obviously 1928." [/LIST] The same logic would apply to my coin if it was labelled as a 2021 D Morgan when obviously it is a 2021 S Morgan.[/QUOTE]
