Another labeling error that got missed all the way to the bidder!!!

keets

When I first saw this listing I never even scrolled down to look at the picture, I just saved it in my "Watching" files. The starting price was higher than what I'd be willing to pay, yet I wanted to see if it it sold and at what price. I had noticed it received a bid and then today I saw it listed as ended. A quick glance at the picture reveals a 1968-S Jefferson labeled as a 1969-S!!

Imagine, it was labeled incorrectly and must not have been noticed by the submitter and/or the seller if they aren't the same, and then the bidder. Makes me want to double check every auction I view on eBay because sometimes I get to bookmarking a listing just to track prices and never really look at the pictures. Does that make me a plastic buyer or just a plastic watcher!!??!!

These mechanical/labeling errors seem to be popping up a little more frequently as of late.

Keets, which is the better coin? the 69-S or the 68-S in DCAM PR69?

hey Pat

of the post-SMS proof Jeffersons, 1969-1972 are all difficult, and the 1969 is harder to find in choice-frosted grade than the 1968. whenever i do find a nice 1969, the frost is different in appearance than the other years, also. it's hard to explain but most almost look burnished. i have several heavily frosted coins but i've balked at submitting them due to scattered hairlines.

And here is one more

Seller listed and PCGS certified as 1979-D, but pretty obviously a 1970-D (I linked to the supersized photo). I wrote the seller and he's promised to review the coin.

The '70-D is actually a relatively common date for off-center dimes, I've never seen a 1979-D off-center.

He's got a 68 in 69 that starts at $129.00.

Boom

Timeline-8-31-03 Boom successfully bids on what is advertised as a PCGS 66 1944-S Washington Quarter-puts it in his Registry Set and thinks no more of it! This past week I found another 44-S in 66 that was more to my liking. I remove the original coin from my set and lo and behold , it's not a 44-S at all -it's a 46-S PCGS66. I look at my 46-P and WOULDN'T YOU KNOW IT....it's a 46-S too! But theclincher is paying for the 15 day service $30 per coin ,receiving the package and the coin to which I was given a new PCGS certification # is still in the NGC slab! Not a good week!
