Exactly how cool is this! Do you ever just casually cruise Ebay and are suddenly floored!

Do grade companies usually put disclaimer like that on slabs?
Edited because I can't spell...

NCS is not a grading company, and hence the disclaimer.

Definitely cool. I don't know about $20K cool, but cool nonetheless. Definitely worth a few bux.

Byers always has lots of 000 in his prices. He's like the Anaconda of mint errors.
That would be a really great coin but too bad somebody has ruined it.
I would be interested in why & who reprocessed it and what was going through their mind while they were doing it.

Here I go again! I just can't get into error coins. Yes, they're rare (perhaps unique) but I prefer a coin that is near perfection in the art of minting. Everytime I look at an error coin, I can't help but think, "Somebody screwed up!" But, when I look at an MS 68 or 69 (Stewart's 1919 Lincoln comes to mind), I think, "every thing came together at the same time. Planchet, feeder, die, press, etc., and the result is a work of art! My local dealer (who is very good and honest) LOVES errors and has a lot in stock which he is constantly showing to me and "telling the story." No problem (good stories) but I'll take a pristine example any day!

I do, however, understand why many collectors like them.
