    Last weekend at my local show, while asking dealers if they had any errors - one dealer had 4 mislabeled (all wrong years though not series) NGC slabs - He had crazy premiums on them, I told him I'd just send them back for a reholder - he said it cost too much shipping and insurance. Sadly... he's probably right, just wish when they make mistakes, they take care of them for free. Didn't think there was much of a collector base for labeling errors.

    That's a very pretty Mercury Dime.

    To my knowledge, they do take care of them for free... You just have to pay your own shipping when you send them to the TPG.

    Yea, probably worded that wrong - they fix the label for free typically, but you're still out shipping/insurance 2 ways usually.

    Tough to key in a 3 instead of an 8.

    I'm surprised to see GC even lists it as a 1943 Mercury dime.

    There goes my chance to bid on a nice error coin... I mean holder.

    Yep... it is gone now.... We need to take screen shots of these items when posting them... So often the listing disappears and we cannot see the issue. Cheers, RickO

    This was a mechanical error - we're getting fixed and will relist in a few weeks.
