JBNickels New Member United States 31 Posts	Posted 12/09/2016 1:53 pm I am starting to notice on some of these fake slabs, is it me or it the paper label really badly cut out most of the times? This is what would get me on these fake ones, which scare me pretty good Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 12/10/2016 08:42 am Other differences: Note the wide spacing of the letters of PCGS on the fake. The hyphen between the date and mintmark is noticeable longer on the fake. The digits in the serial number are wider with respect to their height on the fake than on the genuine. This is most noticeable on the 0's and the 6. The vertical line in the $ extends well above and below compared to that on the genuine. The serifs of the S in the $ are also different. Unfortunately this fake slab label style came out several years ago and more recent ones do not have these features. Edited by Conder101 12/10/2016 08:44 am Report this Post to the Staff
