Does anyone collect PCGS mechanical errors

I thought I read somewhere that there is a market for this

kieferscoins

There is a small market. The more valuable ones are where there is more than one error on the label. A single mechanical error like a wrong date might bring $10-15 over the coins value while a slab with 3 errors, wrong date, mintmark and denomination might bring $40 over the value.

I have a few Ikes I got real excited about when I checked my grades on an invoice......they
said I had made (4) 1974-S MS69's!
I was only excited for a minute,....the submisssion was for PROOF coins not MS.
Does PCGS "frown upon" some one selling a mislabeled coin as long as they are not
trying to pass it off as a correctly labeled one?
I was thinking of putting one on eBay to see what it would bring, but don't want to "upset"
any one at PCGS.
Any advice would be appreciated.

I LOVE IKES!

Yup, I do..

I have about 10 or so PCGS and about 8 between the other services.

This one is my fav PCGS error and as an extra bonus the grader threw in a nose hair..






this one is my all time favorite and my most expensive error slab

Not only can't that company grade, they can't spell either

This is the granddaddy of PCGS mechanical errors, You would NOT believe how much (and how often) I have been offered for this slab. It is NOT for sale.

Here is a favorite of mine. I purchased it from a fellow board member here. How often do you get to see Booker T Washington shake hands?
Obviously, I collect mechanical errors. As long as they are collected with a nice sense of humor, PCGS is pretty cool about it too.

Yes . . . .

My favorite is a Lexington (64) in a Sesqui holder. Problem is . . . the thing has been tried twice for a 65 . . . seems to be a lock, but I don't want to send it in again and lose my mechanical error . . . paid about a $50 premium for it.

Also a couple NGC mis-dates . . .
