Hey I’ve got a 1947-D Walker that’s actually a 1947-P. Post your Mechanical Errors.

I guess this is continuing on with the theme of finding new things in my existing collection.

I used to have a 1970-S Large Date labeled wrongly as a Small Date.............

There is a classic example of a CAC-ed PCGS slab in the following thread
https://forums.collectors.com/discussion/1066684/thoughts-on-anacs/p1
My experience was with ANACS and had actually bought it off eBay just because of the error that even the seller was not aware of. He had apparently sent in a bunch of coins for grading and this was one of them and he even graciously offered to exchange it for another coin.

That’s a very nice 1822 CBH in that thread. I wonder if @lkeigwin still has that one.
I have one that I think will be hard to top. This coin was sent in for a reholder many years ago. However the coin was not reholdered but it was given a new cert number. Now the kicker, the new cert number identifies this coin as VF64
. And to top that off the cert number on this slab was assigned to a 1928-S SLQ.
This background was told to me by NGC after I bought it and tried to add it to a registry set. Three mechanical errors on one coin/slab

Never a slave to one plastic brand will I ever be.
Yes, I still have the coin. But it is now in an MS62 holder. I haven't sent it to CAC to see if it would resticker as a 62.
You can see it is still in CAC's database as a stickered 1825 if you do a look-up.

This was my favorite! I wish I had not sold it.
I know some people like them, but being OCD as I am, they bug me. I send them back to be corrected.

I have two
84-O in 83-O labeled holder & 99-O in 98-O labeled holder
Yes, the date on the coin is very small; but....

I hate to break it to you, but no, you don’t. You’ve got a 1947 Walker that’s labeled 1947-D.

I have a 2008 ase with rev of 07 wrongly attributed. I think I sent in 100 for FS and they missed one.
