Fake 1943 Steel Cent Slabs?

The coins may be genuine, but the slabs could be fake. Might be someone's quick way of trying to make $200 on a $2 coin. Possible, since I agree that they don't look MS-67 to me, either.

No sales of a give serial number doesn't make the number fake. A slab with a given serial number which is still in the possession of the person who originally sent it is would not have a record of a sale. Doesn't make it genuine, either - someone making counterfeit slabs may look for exactly this: a legitimate serial number that has no record of having been sold. Very difficult to trace possession, and harder to detect it being counterfeit.

Not sure if real or fake but probably real. Can't see why anyone would put one of those in a fake slab. Just not worth any big sales. I've got rolls of those things. Nice novelty, just nothing rare or expensive.
