A PCGS entry is made for it but the line is not visible on the pop report.

If a new discovery with a defect such as hairlines such as this coin is given a Details grading how will they put it in the population report? (Will the report show a count of Zero?) Do they ever include an image of a Details coin on the population report page if there are no other coins known?
I love cruising the PCGS population report to see what is out there (far superior to the NGC population report) but the one thing NGC does better is it also has a Details census.

I wish we could see the error coins that they have graded as well. You would enjoy seeing my broadstruck sovereign.

PCGS number ?

Yes, the number would work too.

I meant that it would be good to see all the different kinds of errors they've graded on a population report, although I can see how it could be a bit difficult, what with all the different kinds of/degrees of errors.

Wouldn't be that hard. If PCGS wanted to they could have a second population report for Details coin and a third population report for Errors. There are not that many error coins graded for each year and denomination so they could probably all be shown that way. Then also have a Search  function to look for the various types of error. Could for example lump all the clips together (single, double, triple, crescent etc); off metal strikes together, flip overs and double strucks together, broadstrikes and out of collars together etc. Could even find the same coin in different categories through the Search function as some error coins have multiple errors.
The grading fee for error coins is a bit steep so if PCGS wanted to encourage us collectors to pay that sort of money to get them slabbed they need to consider an Errors  population report and Errors set registry
