Received my first mechanical error in the mail

ModCrewman

Just received a batch of grades back yesterday on a Modern submission (grades posted in 20 days), when the grades posted, I noticed there was a Jefferson Nickel stuck in the middle of my quarters in the submission. I thought this odd as I normally sort my submissions by denomination when submitting them.



When I received them yesterday, sure enough, they slabbed my quarter as a nickel. Looking back at my submission form, I had apparently selected the incorrect denomination from the online submission form, and had entered it as a nickel. IMO they also forgot to put the CAM designation on the holder...but I suppose I'll forgive that.



Who knew you could order up a mechanical error?

This came back the other day.

They should have caught that.

They left it open so you could dip the "tarnish" off of it.

Here's a special error I encountered recently.

I once submitted an 1879-CC $20 and on the submission form I mistakenly wrote "$10".
The slab label came back as "1879-CC $10 XF-40". I got it fixed at a subsequent Long Beach show.

Looks like the clerical work is done separately from the coin evaluation... Cheers, RickO

Oh well.... stuff happens . If they pay for it to be shipped back and fixed no real harm, right?

Honestly, at this grade, it's not even worth the cost of postage to send it back. I'll hold onto it for the novelty of it.

With 33 million + coins graded, they're bound to occur. (mechanical errors , as such)

That coin in the OP isn't an error.



It's the effects of inflation.

Isn't the provenance for the coin on the right obvious?



It was owned by the invisible man.
