Is this a Slab Error?

Hey, I was photographing some of my new purchases and saw this morgan's label appears to have a "C" in the cert number instead of a 0. Is this anything significant?

    Yep, that is supposed to be a 0 (zero).

    I would not classify it as an error...but...

    My first thought was maybe the printer was running low on ink and the zero was partially left out making it look like a c

    I disagree, see the post above that correctly identifies the "C" as a typo. :smiley:

    This would be my guess too. Put it up on ebay as a rare label printing error and watch what happens :D

    @U1chicago that's why I posted it on here before eBay. I wanted to make sure it wasn't some rare label variety

    It's the "O" over "C" variety, which is even scarcer than the "O" over "CC".

    IMO, some foreign matter got between the printer and label "blanking out part of the "0." I don't think the bidiots will think it is significant. I'd hold the coin as is as one day the prices of 65's will go up again. Anyway, if you do auction it, write that you may have a special slab trial, stress the "C" on the label, and put a reserve so someone does not "steal" the coin.

    Typographical error or misprint... either way, I am sure the TPG would correct it. Cheers, RickO
