  1. Example, on the cert lookup page, the "NGC Grade" shows as AU 55, but the picture at the bottom of the same lookup page shows AU 58 on the slab.

    However, the coin in hand actually does say AU 55. The certification number matches between the cert lookup page's image and the coin in hand. However, the 8 digits under the QR code on the back of the slab do not match between the cert lookup page image and the coin in hand. 

    What might have caused this? Was the coin originally graded AU 58, then in quality control, bumped down to AU 55 (necessitating a new encapsulation but with the same certification number)?

  2. Why does the COA from SA Mint for a proof 1999 1oz Krugerrand say Max Coinage 1000, but SAMint's own website (http://www.samint.co.za/collectable-coins/product-mintages/) says the mintage is 2,787?
    Numista (https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces6002.html) also has the 2,787 mintage. 

    Is there some subset of the proof coins that didn't come with COA in box + OGP?

  4. I got a batch of A-22 air-tites in today and started putting some gold sovereigns inside, and I noticed that one of them (1911) would not fit into the direct-fit airtite (22mm), it would not lie flat in the circular indentation in the plastic holder. I got a few other comparable sovereigns and they fit fine.

    I started thinking that the 1911 was possibly fake because all other sovereigns fit fine in the airtite holder.
    I took some measurements as best I could and there's nothing that really sticks out in comparison with the others I measured.

    Am I unnecessarily worried about a 110+ year old coin that didn't get struck with the exact right dimensions to make it fit into a plastic holder? Perhaps it's not perfectly circular or flat.
    If the coin in question fit in the airtite fine, I would have no reason to consider it as possibly suspect since it passes all my tests (sigma, magnet, dimension weight, ping test, etc).

    Year    Diameter    Thickness    Grams    Sigma        Fits in A22 airtite?
    1911    22.26mm        1.58mm        8.0        mid - 2        No, won't lie flat inside unless I force it in
    1928    22.07mm        1.52mm        8.0        mid - 1        Yes
    1903    22.24mm        1.56mm        8.0        mid - 1        Yes
