[Just an obsevation... in any other endeavor in life a mistake, an error in judgment, something little that results in catastrophic loss of life  -- the Tacoma-Narrows Bridge see-sawing before collapsing into the icy waters below (1940), the flammable doping used on the skin of the Hindenburg (1937) the Triangle Shirtwaist fire 1911) the Challenger's O-Rings pushed to the limit(1986) -- is investigated at length, fingers are pointed, cover-ups occur -- but in Numismatics they are worshipped: the die broke (so what?) the collar was too tight, how does a coin get minted on the wring-sized planchet with the wrong metallic composition? It's okay, it's just an error!  So, it's worth a loss less, if anything at all right? Nope, to the contrary, mistakes or errors by inattentive employees are, at times, worth considerably more. The 1943 penny copper penny was unauthorized but is legal; the '33 double eagle was made to specification, but is illegal to own.  Interesting hobby.]

obviously not unique....prob not rare, poss scarce....reasonable to assume low hundreds??....there were (9) certified in that submission lot with identical error n grade.....2148532-001 thru 2148532-009 all same die crack same grade, possibly others in same submission with higher grade or lower grades, time consuming to search but doable, doubtful that ngc retains that info in a compiled data base but obviously it exists on a one coin cert number at a time basis......
