Unusual Error- What is this Worth?

I have an unusual error I need to ask about.

It is an 1883-O Morgan dollar certified as MS-64 by NGC. Common date and condition. No biggie.

HOWEVER, the label put on the slab by NGC clearly says 1882-O instead of 1883-O. I believe this is the only labeling error like this that I’ve ever seen on a NGC or PCGS coin.

Without saying “it’s worth what someone will pay for it” (too obvious), what do you think something like this should sell for? If it makes any difference, the serial number is 315259-019.

I suggest it might be a deduction from the value rather than an enhancement.

There is probably someone somewhere that collects that type of error.

I myself would have never bought it if it wasn’t for the mistake.

One small, friendly piece of advice: BUY THE COIN, NOT THE HOLDER.

I didn’t pay any premium for the holder- thankfully.
