Don't bother looking up the serial # guys, it matches with the "slab" but you can tell immediately that coin is no where near MS66 and it's clearly a fake. If someone could post some pics too that'd be great. I'm an idiot. Report this Post to the Staff

Yes, the chinese have been faking these slabs for a long time. This is a really bad fake. The coin is totally fake and not MS66. Also, the font on the slab is sooooooo bad. This is probably one of the worst fakes I have seen. They replied, Quote: I just have no idea Report this Post to the Staff

The holder gives this one away waaaaaaay before the coin. Shop CCF Members on eBay. Report this Post to the Staff

dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 06/24/2015 2:58 pm Quote: The holder gives this one away waaaaaaay before the coin Agreed, The font is way too thick, most notably the dollar symbol. Easy to detect even with sub-par photos which can mask the coin. Also, it looks like the holder itself is a bit milky, not as clear as genuine PCGS. Report this Post to the Staff
