That is crazy. I guess you can search the PCGS # but I wonder if it's really possible.

The PCGS number shows as valid: http://www.pcgs.com/Cert/5790411/

Although I notice that the PCGS page shows the grade as "MS62RD", but the slab only says "MS62".

Is that odd? Should the label and records be exactly the same?

I asked the seller why the missing "RD" from the label:

Great question! I don't know the answer for sure. However, I suspect that
the PCGS computer system requires their staff to enter a "color" code for
all CENT coins--RD for red, RB for red-brown, and BN for brown--and this IS
a cent coin, after all, even if minted on a nickel planchet. I'm grateful,
at least, that the online cert verification system indicates the "E" for
"error." The cert verification for the other error coin that I have on
eBay now did not indicate the "E," and PCGS made me mail the coin back to
them in order for them to update their website. (My photos apparently were
not enough for them to make the change.) The process took three months.
Or was it four? Anyway, thanks for your question and for your interest.

Nice, but I think I will stick to stacking more everyday items, not a one of a kind error.

I have two clad quarters struck on dime stock and would gladly sell each one for a mere $1,995 (freight included).
Former stock broker w/ ~20 yrs. at one company. Spoke with 100k+ people and traded a lot (long, short, options, margin, extended hours, etc.).

Please note that ANY stocks I discuss, no matter how compelling, carry risk- sometimes substantial. If not prepared to buy it multiple times in modest amounts without going overboard (assuming nothing really wrong with the company), you need to learn more about the market and managing risk. Also, please research covered calls (options) as well.
