PCGS Error Nickel with an Unusual PCGS Insert

braddickbraddick Posts: 24,005 ✭✭✭✭✭

I am not sure exactly how to read this insert. The coin number look-up provides the same information.
I haven't seen this before and am hoping a more seasoned collector of errors would shed some light on what the insert
represents/means.

    Data entry error! Somebody filled the spreadsheet out incorrectly.

    I don't know why they could not determine the denomination but here is a link to a similar or E1111.
    It stated E1111 is an umbrella number.

    Here's one with a coin number.

    Is it because there's no date on the coin above?

  • ZoinsZoins Posts: 34,130 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Here's one without a full date that uses "E11111" but still has a partial date and denomination:

    I’ve seen “various“ used on a label for no date errors, but that’s the first “double various“ I’ve seen…

    The second description of the off-center coin is on the “Pedegree line“ – and that’s also a first that I’ve seen where the exact description is on both lines.

    Nice double error label……

    Thanks for chiming in Fred!

    I was thinking that the double OC could be one for the obverse and one for the reverse! :)

    I'd say that the submittor got a small bonus on this one.

    It's the equivalent of an error on a star (misprinted replacement) note in the currency world. Those are neat.

    No, actually more like a holder error on an error item.

    TPGs have label typos on errors all the time, lack of proper QC that has continued for years and years.

    I recently submitted an error US banknote to the current market-leading TPG for currency. I accidentally filled in the wrong Friedburg number on the form, and got it back with the incorrect number on the label. Makes you wonder…

    Hang on to it, I think you do got some thing, just saying

    The label clearly indicates that the coin was struck 150% off center.

    Good to know!

    Wonder if we’ll be seeing more of these?

    This is from the auction description:
    "Coin holds a Pedigree Sticker from the 8th Great Grandson of Thomas Jefferson."

    So the Pedigree line makes sense.
