  Are error slabs worth any premium? I just bought an 1891-s quarter in a NGC slab, it says 1891-s dollar on the label.

  No pix, but I have a Collectors Club Connecticut P quarter designated as a D mint from -- not 1999 -- but 2000 ... 0 for 2 on this one ...

  I am unable to post any pictures, but I have an 1803 half dime in a SEGS slab on which there is written just two things - "EF-40" and "Large 8" - both of which are wrong. The coin is, by any standard, just a VF-30, but it is also a Small 8, making it the LM-1 (V3) which is R6! I showed the coin to Larry Briggs (owner of SEGS), and he offered to have it re-holdered, but I declined. If it weren't for his error, I probably would not own the coin, as I would have been outbid.
  
  A friend has perhaps the ultimate error slab - it is an 1873-CC dime, graded VF-20, but it says on the slab "No Arrows", which, if it were true, would make it only the second known example of that great rarity. Unfortunately, the coin sports two arrows, one at either side of the date. My friend often takes the coin with him to shows, holds it proudly, smiles, and says "Just me and Eliasberg!".

  I posted this before for people to guess what the error is. Naturally, the savvy caught on to it.

  Very cool error slabs.
  
  The term "buy the coin not the holder" really applies to the coins in this thread.
