    Wow! I wonder how many other slabs are out there with the same misspelling, or if that one's just an anomaly. image

    They aren't the first to do it, Miss Phillipines was also at the Miss Universe contest.

    What's an extra "l" and missing a "p" between friends? Or is that freinds? Oh, never mind...

    NGC just did the same thing to me. They spelled STRK-THRU as STRK TRHU.

    Data only as good as the folks putting it in. I've done this work and after a while the words all flow together. I'm a perfectionist and made a mistake or two myself but it was caught further done the line by someone including the shipping folks. All eyes were inspecting the coins throughout the process to prevent this kind of thing, but it happens.

    It's called a "typo", and if you have keen eyes you can probably find a few thousand examples of such in newspapers, books, ad signs, etc. every single day of your life.

    I assume it's in their database by coin number so it needs to be corrected there or it will always come out wrong. It's an easy one to miss.

    Kind of like "maintenance" and "believe", sometimes gotta think twice when spelling those.

    If you google the misspelling you'll find dozens of other places spelled the same way on the internet by many different posters and companies. Maxim did a photoshoot of their own Miss Phillipines. BTW, my spellchecker catches it. --Jerry

    Well, if you were printing thousands of labels each day, you're bound to make a few mistakes...

    I'm bilingual (actually fluently trilingual...heck, English is my third language. Yep, that's what happens when you're a damn immigrant) and I would say I'm a fairly good speller. Perhaps the monolingual who typed the statement above should learn how to spell himself. Somebody can be bilingual but I've never heard of "bilinguel".

    Label information is manually entered and considering the volume of labels generated mistakes are bound to happen. I'm certain the OP has made a few spelling mistakes in his days.

    What's the big deal? Many of the folks on this forum can't spell correctly, properly comprehend what they read or write in a manner that others can understand...

    ...yet they regularly post here and expound upon their expertise in all matters numismatic...

    So why can't PCGS have an occasional typo?
