    I've shown this one a buncha times, it's one of my favorite error slabs.

    The pic was one of my first taken, it's about time for an updated photo.

    How does that happen, do they type it every time. Like umm today we're gonna pretend to be another grading company?

    Sheesh. That might be worth something someday.

    What do you think, Mr. Bigglesworth?

    image I wonder what HRH would pay to hang that one on the wall in the quality control department.

    These sorts of misspellings and other obvious errors on slabs always make me secure in the knowledge that the TPG folks are on top of things?

    I can't see it either. Please clue me in.

    I spent 5 minutes checking the spelling of Connecticut and each time wondered what I was missing. Finally it hit me... (look at the name of the certifying company)!

    Is "PGCS" a mispelling or a "wannabee" company?

    There is a PGCS "wannabee" grading service (Pacific Grading & Certification Service), but on the holder in question here it would be a mis-spelling. (Although I that spelling is very odd. I would think that that part of the printing of the label would be on a template not something that would be typed in each time.

    Offmetal, what hologram is used on the reverse of that slab? I'm wondering it this could possibly be one of the first coins slabbed after they changed the label in 2002. Possibly they had the template wrong for the first run and then corrected it. image

    Conder, I have to admit that the PGCS slab was a doctored photo I did on MS Paint. I yanked a forum member's lot on eBay I was bidding on and cut and paste image

    I was amazed at how long it took some of you to figure it out image

    It's pretty bad when even PCGS can't spell 'PCGS.' Is that for real? image
