Either this seller is being shafted by the Chinese, or he's trying to shaft someone here.

Send PCGS a message about they used to like being notified about fake holders with their name.

My question really was wondering if the ebay auction was the original that the Chinese copied, or whether it was one of the copies. Somewhere there is an original PCGS slab of this coin.

Maybe maybe not. They would have changed the cert number if it was ever sent back in once the fakes started appearing.

Thats the exact type of coin that should be getting reholdered right now with the special to remove any doubt

That coin stands out like a sore thumb in that historys history. Nothing but junk silver with a few gold coins mixed in here and there and all of a sudden that exact 6k dime pops up?

That reeks of one of those being flipped from that site

The first one is obviously fake. But you're right, the numbers match on the ebay one. I know there's a thread somewhere on fake PCGS slabs and how to identify them.

Why would anybody pay 150.00 for a fake. Unless they knew they were going to try and scam someone.

See how fast even the ebay one ended. I didn't like that one either.
