    I've got a lot of those, as PCGS has changed the PR/PL/MS/SP definition for a number of coin types over time. For example

    • Great Britain Maundy coins are now PL, I have some slabs that say MS
    • Essai / Prova / Proba coins are now mostly SP, I have some slabs that are MS or PR
    • French coins from "Specimen Sets" are now mostly MS, I have some slabs that are SP

    As I am not looking to sell any time soon, I haven't done anything about the discrepancies between slab and the Cert Verification.

    Yes, I have seen the same with the matte uncirculated issues of the Franklin Mint -

    these for 40 years have been considered "matte uncirculated" but now can be evidently designated simply "matte" or "matte proof" or "matte uncirculated".

    Well, just Love coins, period.
