I hope Trout doesn't mind me using the example of his Ducat but it is a perfect example of why slabbed coins can not be taken at purely face value.


No problem at all Mate.
This IS a perfect example that a TPG ( in this case 2 of them) can get things wrong.
I have held this coin without the slab and I found it to be better than the MS63 and MS64 coins graded by both PCGS and NGC using the images supplied .
The person I bought it from considered it to be the best he had seen and he is nobody's fool and is experienced in the field of proclamation coins in Australia.

The "Details" grade from PCGS was a kick in the guts and quite frankly they got it wrong Big Time.

Here are a couple of images, Match these up with the images from the TPG databases and work it out for yourselves.
