I was searching ebay for a 1972 type 2 Ike dollar last evening and I came across one seller with a load of them in PCGS slabs. His first page alone listed 18 of them. I find it a little hard to believe that one person could have so many and the PCGS labels look a little to vivid to me. Wondering what the members here think about these listings? Fake or not?

Let's see , the seller specializes in IKEs has a massive positive feedback.
Highly doubt they would sell fakes!

He sure does have a lot of them, and everyone the image is taken from a distance, thus not enabling us to get a better look and pretty much anything on the coin or slab.
Just because the slab states 'type 2' don't meant it is correct.

buy the coin, not the slab, as that say - if you cannot verify the coin, you are then just buying a piece of plastic with a coin inside it.

But this seller does have stellar feedback going in his favor.

Well I did try to enter the cert number into the PCGS data base and it returned as an in-valid number for that particular coin. I didn't check any others.

I entered the number, it checks out, you must be doing something wrong, try it again.
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...
-from PCGS website

I tried to enter the numbers of two other listings and they also came back invalid. Then I tried entering the numbers of other known genuine slabs that I have and they too came back as invalid. What am I doing wrong? I entered the number following the / mark.
I went back and deleted the link I had for checking the cert numbers and then went back to the PCGS site where I clicked the link to verify and PRESTO, the numbers did in fact appear so all is good!
