I find these types of errors hard to pass up, especially when they touch on my area of interest.

Parking lot find that turned out to be genuine maybe?
seated walker
With all that walking she's done, it's refreshing to see her be "seated" & relaxing her footsies.
Nice one!

I don't generally like 'mechanical' errors on slabs but that one is interesting.

Check that reverse out. There's a "missing micro-S" Seated variety identifiable by a die crack from the eagle's head to the rim.
Not that it makes any difference now but can barcode numbers be traced back to the actual grader who attributed it?
The graders should pay a PREMIUM as well as a couple perks to get those things back.
At least the grade was right.

Yep... a bit of conflicting information there....
Good for the 'curio' collection. Cheers, RickO
Does this mean that there is a 1916-S Walker with an 1854 label running around somewhere?

"mechanical error"...
The pardon is for tyrants. They like to declare pardons on holidays, such as the birthday of the dictator, or Christ, or the Revolution. Dictators should be encouraged to keep it up. And we should be encouraged to remember that the promiscuous dispensation of clemency is not a sign of political liberality. It is instead one of those valuable, identifying marks of tyranny.

Wonder how that passed PCGS quality control
For the recond they didn't get the mint correct either.
Funny how we usually dispute the assigned grade for our coins, but in this case they did ok on the grade, but everything else was a little off. Although those reverse scratches look like graffiti to me.

Maybe there is an Actual walking lib 1916 s with a 1854 o G 4 label out there.
It's that very rare overdate, 1916-S/1854-O. Plain as day.

HMMM...........
I would think that the whole coin and slab would have to get the "20 Mule Team" award. (First Strike Slab).
