Interesting difference in display information under PCGS' cert verification

Anyone else notice something like this?
My early copper doesn't show a mintage on the webpage, yet other denoms are showing their mintages in the webpage. However, all the information IS there if you highlight and copy/paste (I took screenshots and pasted together....can't see "mintage" on the 1795 1/2 cent, and yet, when I was on the page and did a highlight/copy/paste, it showed all the info including the mintage.......)

Btw...the morgan was submitted because it has some cool toning and doesn't look like a MS62 because of same toning. The gold piece is from a forum member (my son's birthyear -100, that I bought earlier this year), and the 1/2 cent is one I bought raw a few years back but decided I wanted to slab it for 2 reasons: protection and in case my son (or I) ever wants/needs to sell it, it should be easier to sell slabbed. It was purchased raw, from an EAC dealer, and he had it graded as a VG08 as well).

I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    I think the "Mintage" was missing on the first one because it was a variety and PCGS did not want to confuse the "Variety" as representing the entire mintage - just my guess!

    Might make sense except all I did was take my mouse cursor, highlight and copy the same area you see in the graphic, and the mintage was part of that data....try it....go to the cert verification and view it, then use your mouse to highlight/copy/paste and note that the info IS there, just not visible.

    I think Winston has it. I did a dime variety and it didn't show mintage either.

    I don't think they show mintage on varieties.

    Jon....can you give me a cert # of the one you are talking about, so I can check it the same way I did this one?

    Thanks...

    I get did the same thing and saw the webpage didn't have the mintage...but when I grade it with the mouse and copy/paste (see below), it does show the image.....interesting....if the info is already there, why not show it?
