I have sent mechanical errors back for correction and they were returned to me with the exact same mechanical errors. When I called customer circus, they said they could only be fixed at a show.

The seller would be foolish not to accept this offer and the good will that would go with it.

While I basically agree, exactly what "good will" do you speak of?
And the statement that a seller is trying to profit from an error by PCGS, and that it is somehow inappropriate, is as self-serving as the Mint taking the same position. Of course both manufacturers are equally embarrassed, but neither is immune to the downside of making mistakes. Just another opportunistic seller in a capitalistic system - wholly to be expected, if not appreciated. Property rights sort of trump all in both cases...
Just wondering what these would be worth to PCGS or one of their competitors Could just see it now, at a national show, proudly displayed on a NGC, ICG, or SGS table. I think PCGS should just buy them back and take them of the market.

You still must have a willing seller. And there is no doubt that PCGS would be willing and happy to do just that - take them back. All I meant to say in my previous post is that PCGS can no more compel an owner to return them - or not attempt a profit from their sale - than the Mint could compel the return of all, say, 1955 DDO Lincoln Cents.

Agree. Also, no one should profit from error coins struck by the US mint. Everyone should send me their error coins so that I can return them to the US mint.

Seller is peddeling the holders and not the coins?
