vermontensium Moderator United States 16677 Posts	Posted 02/09/2012 04:07 am I visited my local coin shop today and they had 25 PCGS graded common date $5 Liberty Head Gold coins in the cabinet. When I asked the young lady behind the counter, exactly what these were from PCGS, she got very defensive and said, "I really don't know". They all had 40 in the bar code numerically.

Kind of like what you see with silver dollars some times where the pieces that don't make the minimum are just marked Brilliant Uncirculated. These were just marked XF. Report this Post to the Staff

I've had common date coins come in with certs that weren't verifiable. They do make fake pcgs slabs - I've seen them for sale with fake morgans inside... Report this Post to the Staff
