Every coin the seller has listed, and sold, are fake. And fairly obvious, too.

Of the four I tried to verify at NGC and PCGS, three came back as genuine.

What am I missing here?

If you can provide detailed information as to why each item is counterfeit, something can be done about it.

Look at the PCGS Shield on the holder.
The font/boldness looks off.
The obverse of the coin looks totally off, very weak.

After looking closely at the two photos of this coin, I am inclined to say that, although the certificate numbers match, I believe that they are NOT the same coin.

Experts: please chime in here.
Rest in Peace

Not an expert, but looked at the NGC PF-63, and while the certificate numbers match, the bar codes on the ebay listing and the NGC photo are distinctly different, the ebay listed coin is definitely a fake.

Beware:
the Chinese are getting very good at both fake coins and fake holders.

Sometimes the coins are sold as replicas or copies, sometimes as genuine, but they are more often on sold again as genuine.
That way, the original manufacturer isn't caught out, but full profits can be taken from the second sale.

They almost always screw up the holder.
