I wonder if I can get PCGS to relabel this as a Post Mint Error?

I normally don't buy MS65 Red-Brown coins, but for $30.00 I had to have this one. It just appealed to my whimsical nature and again wonder if I can get PCGS to relabel this as a "Post Mint Error" and leave the date alone......ROFL
Don't get it? Check the date on the coin and the label, it's a 1941 D.... 
What's the saying....Feces occurs?
Somewhere out there , there might be a 1941 wearing a 1941-D label. I probably won't even submit it for an new holder! Just too funny! Beside they would probably want to charge me a re-holder fee.

Deleted, was an accident
I bet the other label out there is a 1941 D in MS68 RD too

Typo error... Here termed a 'mechanical' error... It happens occasionally. They will fix it if requested. Cheers, RickO
Why would you ever consider paying $30 for that?
@Bruce7789
I like the combination of the label and the coin, I myself would not change it.
circa 2011 ::: In the words of David Hall at PCGS, he defines a mechanical error as: "A mechanical error is an obvious error. Examples: a clearly mint state frosty surface coin in a proof holder, a 1936 dated coin in a holder that said 1935, a Boone commem in a Texas commem holder, a flat as a pancake band dime in a FB holder, etc.

Bad transactions with : nobody to date
Stop and think about it. This coin, in it's present Grade, Date and Mintmark is almost guaranteed to be the only one in the whole world. I've seen people pay lots more than a lousy $30.00 for something that is stand alone unique. And it isn't often that PCGS makes this kind of error (except maybe in grading.....
) and even then, usually it gets sent back to be corrected.
Besides, as I stated, it appeals to my whimsical nature!

I'm pretty sure it just happened again and on my most recent order. It's an 87 D/D 1C. I'll try and look up an old image from when I found it but I'm waiting on the TV before I post and/or confirm the mistake.
They did not agree that it is the rpm they seek.
See, there you go refuting my statements......LOL. It may be much more common than I think it is. It's actually the first one I've seen, but those that have been with the hobby for years and not having a break for about 20 years, like I did, may have seen them quite often.
I'm putting a Red piece of tape across the top so i can find it again like I do all of my error coins in the collection, but am going to leave it as is and put it in the box with the other 1941's. Besides, the PPCGS valuation for the coin in MS65
Rd is $25.00 and there is no listing for MS65 RB (?) I figure it only cost me about $15.00 over what I would have had to pay if I ordered it.

I had got a PCGS Washington Quarter last year at a coin shop that did not have the mintmark on the label. I made the mistake of sending it in on a sub form with other coins. After a go around back and forth about the fees, they finally figured it out. PCGS told me to call them first if it ever happens again, and send it in by itself.
They simply forgot to state the error.
I believe that's the rare 1941 Philadelphia "with D" variety.
I have a 2007 S Kennedy in PR70DCAM. Only problem, it's labeled as a 2003 PR70DCAM. I'll keep it as is.
People tend to want to keep mechanical errors like this as they are unless some real money is involved and the coin needs to be sold to someone for a registry set. I don't think they'd charge you a fee to fix their obvious mistake, either.

I knew that it was a special coin, and that most people wouldn't catch that variety! That variety is so rare they don't even list it!.....
I've decided to keep it as I stated above! Included with my normal MS 65 RD Wheats are some RPM's, and other errors. This is just my first error coin that wasn't done by the mint! When my son inherits the collection, he can decide what to do with all the error coins.
