It is not an unreasonable estimate, but without a comprehensive and complete census of all compromised serial numbers, there is no way to tell for sure. That is slightly under 350 counterfeit slabs created around the world per day for 12 years. That’s high, but not unreasonable.</p><p><br /></p><p>For comparison, if PCGS graded 2000000 coins in a year, that’s about 8000 coins per day accounting for weekends and holidays. 365 days a year would net about 5500 coins per day.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
