Wow! The rounded bottom gown is a dead giveaway.
This could have been a major disaster for all involved.
PCGS fail!

It may yet be. I don't think the buyer knows what he's getting.

Is it possible to open a slab and put a different coin in it?
I don't even see the as FR2, I would have gone AG.
It's hard to believe any TPG could make a mistake on a high caliber,popular coin like this date.
Seems like coin identification 201 and these guys have PHD's.

The rivets on the shield immediately caught my eye before I even saw the gown. I would put this at AG, just the amount of wear on it.

Ummm....it's 1916 to me.

1917 has 5 stars right?

1916 has 6 stars?
( I mean just counting one side)

Well, as has been stated many times, it is obviously a 1917. I do not believe TPGs would mess this up. Whoever is grading SLQs will have specifically gone over this exact thing many times.

The seller is the liar here IMO. He likely had a genuine 1916 in this slab. He cracked it out very carefully and put in a dateless 1917 that was the approx grade. The TPGs never call an SLQ more than AG if there is zero date, so this AG coin is close enough to FR-2. Doing this with the slab is very hard to do, but probably worth the 1500 he just scammed. He would then re-submit the real 1916.

Ill never say that anythings impossible to do, but thats getting very close to it. Theres pretty much no way to do that and leave no trace and not have the slab held together with duck tape
