I havent heard of INB before... International Numismatic Bureau... PSHHH  they just keep getting worse. Too bad beginners fall for this trash. THE COIN isn't EVEN IN THE SLAB! just photoshopped... http://cgi.ebay.com/2007-S-HIGHEST-...AR_W0QQitemZ220211282046QQihZ012QQcategoryZ149688QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Thanks goodness that has a "valid" hologram on the reverse--I was beginning to get concerned!  Love that fake barcode!

INB has been around for close to a year but I haven't seen that slab variety for them before. quote: Love that fake barcode!
What is fake about it? Can you read the code? What does it say? Does it not match the seial number?

"What is fake about it?" LOL...it was an observation; don't make me prove it.  Just pull out any legit PCGS, NGC, etc slab and compare. All the barcodes use a similar encoding process, and therefore should have a similar appearance. Hopefully the fake PCGS/NGC slabs use obviously fake barcodes like this.

Ya, that coin is PR70 alright... too bad it's just a stock image of a PR70 proof.

Like I said, what an obvious example of a poor photoshop-er... I sent him an email but he hasn't replied yet. It doesn't really do anything to complain to the seller but at least he should know that there are people who can see right through his dishonest scams.
