I know you won't believe me because the PCGS cert# matches, but this is fake. Yes, the chinese have been faking these slabs for a long time. This is a really bad fake. The coin is totally fake and not MS66. Also, the font on the slab is sooooooo bad. This is probably one of the worst fakes I have seen.

This is what the REAL 1879 MS66 in the REAL PCGS holder actually looks like:

I may be a novice but the coin looks like it would get an AU grade

Any Joe Blow should be looking at the coin not the holder anyways

Well Joe better start looking at the holder.

The holder gives this one away waaaaaaay before the coin.

I am no slab expert, but to me it is obvious without even looking at the coin.

Agreed, The font is way too thick, most notably the dollar symbol. Easy to detect even with sub-par photos which can mask the coin. Also, it looks like the holder itself is a bit milky, not as clear as genuine PCGS.
