<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cwtokenman, post: 42755, member: 2100&quot;]If you are referring to GDJMSP&#039;s post #2, I would have to say that I agree with him. I have heard rumor that the big boys have slabbed one or two fakes, but that would be such a small percentage it may just as well be considered zero. But they certainly are human, and certainly make mistakes. Since I primarily collect Civil War tokens and other exonumia that seldom becomes slabbed, I sometimes wonder at the level of familiarity they have when one does get submitted. They certainly have not looked at thousands (or even hundreds) of many types of cwts as about 80% of the 14,000 varieties have populations of 20 or less. I would hope that a higher level of expertise exists with regular coinage since there are more submissions and more example to review. But I have seen a number of flagrant tpg errors with regular coinage as well. Some errors are such that even a novice collector would not be apt to make (such as having the wrong denomination on the slab label). Perhaps they need additional personnel to verify the correct label was placed in each slab.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
