The buyer likes it so much he already left positive feedback.

The VDB on the fake is slightly to the right, when most of us know that the VDB on the real ones is slightly to the left.

Too bad no one could contact the purchaser and tell them what they just got.
I fault ebay for destroying the community that once existed, making it impossible to alert buyers.

Interesting. A buyer with 2600+ Feedback spends $1200 on a coin and leaves Feedback within 12 hours of the purchase.

Very concerned that newer collectors will be fooled by these fake slabs ...

A growing problem for the coin industry indeed.

it's a sad day for the hobby when you can't trust a pcgs certified coin.

The listing has been removed, the seller booted, and ebay's fraud department is fixing it.

g048406, you were on this so fast that we caught the Feedback within hours of it being left. I looked at that Feedback less than 24 hours after the auction ended. That's how we know.

Here is the response from my contact at ebay....


Quote:
Buyer cancelled transaction after receiving the item and was refunded before we made contact. Item was pulled down from the archives.
