I was amused by this error in the PCGS photography department. I'll contact them shortly to have it fixed, I'm sure it's not an issue. Thought you guys might be amused as well.

    No image when searching the cert number... Likely just an error in the picture. Cheers, RickO

    That combo actually looks pretty good as a coin, at least as much as modern coins look good anyway.

    Shouldn't a 1961 dime be mule with the Liberty bell reverse of the Franklin half? That would look really cool.

    It's a time traveling mule... with a giant Roosevelt head. Clearly a coin that has mastered both time and space.

    How about a Theodore Roosevelt dime with a Teddy Bear on the reverse?
