Take a look at the link and tell me what's wrong with this coin. What would you do about it ? The good news is I didn't buy this coin it is one I made myself.Link

It's not an Olympic?

Russ

You could get big bucks for that as a rare slab error selling it on eBay!

Actually, to be accurate- nothing is wrong with the coin, PCGS simply got lazy and the "finalizer" got caught sleeping at the wheel.

I dunno. Looks like Columbus landing & bringing the Olympics to the US if you ask me.

Its the first year of the Olympic Trans Atlantic Race. Some guy by the name of Columbus won by a nose. Ceratinly worthy of a modern Commemorative.


Here's the Commemorative for the classic WWII battle of the US Congress. Certainly a battle to never forget.

There's really no excuse for that. A company gets paid very well to provide an accurate description. There is no room for error.

Saw one this weekend at the Pelham show (A slab error, and a good one like yours). Don't remember what it was, but it was in an NGC slab. Maybe Frank saw it too? (Frank, did I ask you about it?)

no room for error, man you guys are tough. he who is without sin, cast the first stone

dorkkarl

it was obviously puttied before getting slabed. now that the putty has evaporated, the coin looks totally different!

When that happens, I wonder if that isn't one of two mistakes (i.e. switched labels by the guys who seal the slabs).

VonZipper

Steve, could be but PCGS is supposed to have a final grader check them after they are slabbed.
