  Fifty bucks plus for error coins. It won't get any worse. And it can't get any better.

  Could be a dealer doing a shared order for his/her customers and got tired of waiting for one more, so it's a throw in to make the count...

  Nevermind. I clicked on the cert # and see that it's an error coin and not just an ordinary 2000 cent.

  I love the 3 P's: PB&J, PBR and PCGS.

  "How did someone justify monetarily this submission?"
  
  
  
  For many people, monetary justification isn't a consideration.
  
  And that's ok with me.
  
  
  
  Wish they took a pic.
  
  Sounds like it would be interesting.

  Wasn't my money so I don't care if they're submitting the knockout tabs from electrical boxes.

  I'm wondering why it took 8 weeks to have the coin graded. Do error coins take that much longer?

  Yes, they can. I believe that many/most/all are sent out to the specialists. FredW would be definitive answer on how it is done (absent DonW or someone from PCGS chiming in).

  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

  PCGS delivers error coins to me every two weeks or so.
  
  
  
  Yes, errors can take longer than normal coin submissions,
  
  but it normally does not take 8 weeks/2 months, unless
  
  it's something very unusual or questionable.
  
  
  
  I'd guess that 4-6 weeks is 'normal'.

  Well that is a good question. Do they send all errors out to specialists?
  
  I would hope not, but you never know. Probably 90% of errors are very easy to identify and it would not take much to educate a couple employees, or recruit a grader that is already familiar with errors.
  
  But maybe that wouldn't be as easy as it seems, as there are currently many mislabeled error coins from all of the TPGs.
