Hey everyone, I pulled something really strange from my sealed 2022 Charizard Ultra Premium Collection that I picked up from my local card shop on release day.
As you probably know, the Charizard UPC only comes with a gold-colored metal coin. But when I opened mine, I found that one of the coins was silver metal instead of gold.
• Came directly from a sealed box (not tampered with, I bought it on release day).
• The coin is definitely metal (not the older silver plastic style).
• Still sealed in the original plastic wrap.
• The design is identical to the gold coin, just struck in silver.
I’ve looked around and I can’t find any official mention of a silver variant for this product. I know Pokémon has never officially released a silver metal Charizard coin before, so I’m wondering if this is a factory error / mispack.
Has anyone else ever seen a silver Charizard UPC coin come straight out of a sealed box?
Would you recommend getting this graded/authenticated by PSA or CGC to document it as an error?
I’ve attached photos below for reference.
Thanks in advance for any info — I’m really curious if this is a one-off misprint or if a few slipped through during production!
