I acquired this 20 Coin Uncirculated Mint Set via subscription to the US Mint, as I just like to have complete sets of new coins. I then send them to my favorite grading outfit: NGC. Obviously the face value of these coins are not high and the metal they are minted from is not very precious especially compared to the combined cost of grading, encapsulation in scratch resistant holders, imaging and handling fees and shipping both ways! BUT:
Something unusual happened during the encapsulation process at NGC. Both of the pennies were erroneously holdered with the reverse of the coins showing to the front side of the holders and the obverse showing to the back side of the holders. I tried to have NGC correct these encapsulations and sent them back. One month and five days later NGC returned the same pennies in the same holders right back to me! I think it's pretty funny because NGC usually appears so rigidly correct in all things when it comes to specific details. So I decided to keep these "Mechanical Error Encapsulations" and maybe they will add some humor to this mundane collection.
