The OP slab looks good to me. I don't see any of the diagnostics of the first, second, or third generation chinese fake slabs.
Dealers are getting taken by the fake slabs. There is someone working the dealers and small shows in the Indianapolis - Anderson-Muncie area. He has already stuck two dealers with over $4K in fake slabs each.
Probably the most common way for the counterfeiters to get valid TPG serial numbers are the Archives of the major auction houses. Go to the archives and search for the denomination, date/mint of your fake and you while have a list of every PCGS and NGC slabbed one that they have sold. now all you have to do is harvest the serial numbers off of each of them. that is how we prove a lot of the fakes. Go o the archives and search for the serial number of the questionable slab. Quite often it will pop up and you can look at the picture and see it is not the same coin.
