<p>[QUOTE="princeofwaldo, post: 2023495, member: 24091"]99% certain the finalizer inspects the coin post-encapsulation. The grade is checked and the slab itself is checked, and more coins actually get rejected for poor slab appearance (plastic debris within the holder etc) than do for disagreement on grade between the finalizer and the grader. Overall, I think they do a pretty good job, but you have to be diligent. There are some label mistakes that are almost more common than the correct label out there. I can't tell you how many Brazil 19th century gold coins I have seen that had 10,000 Reis on the label when it should have been 20,000 and vice versa."[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
