That must be a very large Half Dollar. I mean, a 6 inch die crack is amazing.

I don’t think that was my “error“ – a data entry error!
wow a double error, mechanical and coin
Maybe they could only fit so many characters on one line and the data entry person didn't think it mattered.

They are both one character. Someone didn’t hit the ‘shift’ key.
LOL, Fred, you had the exact same response to another PCGS error label coin I posted awhile ago.
My guess is since many error descriptions are unique, and the date inputers are not used to the descriptions, they make more data entry mistakes.
I would guess they didn't hit the shift key because they didn't understand the need to. I see it all the time in my line of work.

Common typographical error... but gets a chuckle...
Cheers, RickO
Lol. An "Error" on an "Error coin"!
Beautiful coin, dude!
"Jesus died for you and for me, Thank you,Jesus"!!!
--- If it should happen I die and leave this world and you want to remember me. Please only remember my opening Sig Line.EOC-even When we write them up on the submission forms with block letters and pressing hard on the forms – we get error labels back with mechanical word errors – most I send it back immediately -if it’s a minor mistake on the label I might not send it back
When I first clicked on the thread, I thought it was going to be in a 100 oz bar! lol...

you are assuming they are using the U.S standard of the imperial unit. They could be using the length of a cricket foot as the measure.
I always measure planchet cracks in Kilowatts per fortnight!

Domestic or Eurasian cricket?
I guess that coin IS what it's cracked up to be............
Pete
Nice one!
Possibly the person who typed the label had just finished a 100 oz beer.
Chris- that’s a nice example of a silver Kennedy Half with a large cracked planchet!
This is a nice looking coin. I like how it goes through the 9 but PCGS doesn't call it a 1X64 date
Of course, being a 1964, it can really only be that date given the 90% silver composition.
Here's a question, If the 4 is obscured and the coin is 90%, would it be listed as 1964, or would it be listed as 196X due to potential transitional year errors?
(1964) is a possibility
Reminds me of Stonehenge:
Indian Head $10 Gold Date Set Album
it really is a 1/2 foot long, it was just very cold at the time it was photographed.
Too many typos on mint error coins .....
Just today, In found these two.
Data entry people need to pay more attention to their job.
Maybe you need to be a TPG error consultant!
Geez turn on the spell check at least! 🤪
They probably have to turn it off for Struck-Thru! 🤪
spell check don't like the broadstruck either
disappointed this isn't in a jumbo holder.
