Take a close look at the faint photo on the label.
Unless I am mistaken it is the Great Wall of China.

I think the fact that it's labeled as a Taobao product says all that needs to be said. The coin itself is a poor fake too.

"Professional Coin Collection Box" is the brand name and "Professional Coin Display Slab" is the product. And aye, it's a Chinese make.
In truth, they're pretty good slabs as far as quality goes and you can purchase them for about a buck each in quantity.
However, they are a *supply* company not a grading company. Their slabs merely *look* like it enough that folks try and pass them off as such. :-)

Yeah, I was just being funny with the topic title. I have never seen this NGC style holder before. Do they snap together or are they like the Coin World premiere holders that just fit together with no snapping? |

Yep, "PCCB" is the brand name used by the Chinese slab manufacturer. You can buy the empty slabs in bulk from the Forty Thieves website. I've seen coins slabbed by basement TPGs (including the one based here in Australia) where the "PCCB" logo is clearly visible in the lower left corner of the slab. I suspect the plastic is nowhere near as high-quality as the stuff used in actual TPG slabs. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

Sap got it right on the money, a quick Google search for PCCB coin brought them listed for sale out of China through the "40 thieves website" (Alibaba) I like that nickname Sap going to appropriate it for use in my talks!
