Pictures of the coin also?
Who or what is INSAB?
Huh?

From another site: "INSAB) in Washington DC and then Phila.,PA from about 1974 to 1991 or so. The former authenticators at ANACS who did not go to CO worked there. INSAB was the first independent coin grading service also, beating ANACS by several months!"
The paperwork makes me think that the OP's coin is likely good. On the other hand, the OP's reluctance to show us the coin makes me think that it likely isn't. Maybe we'll get a picture eventually.
...perhaps they only have the paper work and not the error cent?

For those unaware, INSAB stands for International Numismatic Society Authentication Bureau. They opened their doors at around the same time as ANACS. Charles Hoskins had been director of INSAB for a time. INSAB is not longer in business and went under many years ago, if I recall correctly. The paperwork certainly may be contemporary and legitimate, but without an image of the coin in question we are left with little.

The image I saw of the coin looks funky. Damaged for sure. Does not have "the look" of a cent on a dime planchet. Photo was small tho. Please post it here.
So why is this so called coin #488G blocked out so it can't be seen?
Can someone consolidate the 3 threads on this subject and also post the photos ?
thought better of it and deleted OP's image find it else where.

I saw the coin image in a thread further up the forum....it was without the paperwork shown here. It is damaged, but looks authentic....Cheers, RickO
