LOL! Paid for gold shield & true views.

Bet the folks in the grading room got a good laugh
Might be one that asked for help and didn't believe what they were told
Would have been hilarious to be in the PCGS photo room when this came through. Phil: "W....... T........ @........???"
This one's not mine but somehow I can't stop looking at it!
It looks like a petri dish!

Maybe they were fillers from a voucher? Done as a gag?

Looks like some of our parking lot posters took my advice and sent them in, instead of just taking our opinions.
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
thanks for the laugh!
makes me wonder if pcgs is happy to have the "easy" business or would rather not even see things like that. i'm sure the graders get a chuckle from things like this. either that or "smh!"
i'll leave the back door open that there is a .01% chance it is something amazing i'm unaware of because i've seen a few things happen like that in nusmiamtics.

This is a great thread. Very interesting to see TrueViews of such coins. This isn't a TrueView, but one of my own. I found it on March 1, 2019 in the parking lot where I work- exactly 20 years to the day I started working there. I knew I was keeping it when I saw the date. It was a sign. ;-)

So how many of these were subsequently cracked open and then listed on eBay as a valuable mint error?
Set-up coins,,,,,, trying to raise the grades on the rest of the submission by comparison,,,,,
Worse than slabbing bullion.
Wow - there are a few facebook groups for errors where folks post this stuff all day long, argue until they are blue in the face that they found the mother load - then proclaim they are sending them in. Surprisingly, they seldom report back their results - I'm guessing these are some of them lol.

The label should have "Parking Lot Discovery Coin."

@airplanenut You should post your ANACS coin with the looong label of problems. lol
Wow, what a bunch of ugly coins
FUGLY is as fugly does, ya know.
