Goofy PCGS label
Got two coins off eBay recently that have me puzzled about PCGS's
labeling policies. No, I'm not talking about the grade - just how they denote it on the slab. Both coins are 2002-S Lincolns graded PR69DCAM by PCGS. Except one is labeled "PR69 DCAM" and the other "PR69RD DCAM". If you do a cert verification of the numbers, they both are reported as "PR69 DCAM". Is this just a typo on the label - or is there some significance to the extra "Red" designation. (I'd be pretty bummed if my moderm DCAM proof Lincoln wasn't also Red!)

Maybe somebody will decide it's a RARE LQQK ERROR! -- Jim Seymour |
