<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 3009031, member: 66&quot;]It&#039;s not just the EACers, I believe most of the other high-quality fakes that have made their way into TPG slabs were also identified originally by series specialists and then brought to the TPG&#039;s notice. I know the 1872 S half-dollar with the small S reverse was identified by Seated Liberty Coin Club members. The TPG graders are probably missing them because they are not specialists in all fields and in most cases it is that specialist knowledge that allows the counterfeits to be recognized. Once they are brought to the TPG&#039;s notice then they know to look for them and no more get slabbed. It&#039;s the knowledgeable collector not the authentication services that are making the discoveries.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
