Interesting error on this NGC slab on both the date and the assayer. Goes up for auction in a couple of weeks - I'm curious to see how Heritage describes this one.

They should pull it and have it reslabbed.
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

There are several levels of effort that go into slabbing a coin. Unfortunately, the level that is involved in typing the text that goes onto the label is not the same as the level that assigns the grade.

No excuse for this as the MZ assayer is 100% clear, yet 1811 was assayer RM (as the slab says). Plus, of course, if you know the series at all the style is completely different.

1811 Durango is a very rare date... Would it be cynical of me to think that every time something like this occurs, it seems to be in the more expensive direction?

I think it's probably just that War of Indendepence coins are challenging, but I see what you mean...

Hard to see from the picture but I saw this Royal Arms slabbed as a Local Arms as well last year.
