Beware Of Counterfeit NGC Slabs

Here's a question: once the forgers fix those spelling issues and font details, how then are buyers able to distinguish real from forgery?

Gotta look at the coin and determine if it is real or not.
I know... easier said than done. I myself almost got duped last week. But knowledge, not blind faith in a slab will always come out on top.

Chinese law - they are "liknesses", not counterfeits. that way it can't come back to the Chinese govt.

There is a big difference between fake and tampered with and sometimes the edges of the genuine slabs look "tampered with" depending on the pressure applied to the slab during the sealing process.

As to the hyphens NGC was commenting on the specific generation of holder that was being counterfeited. I don't know if slanted hyphens holds true on other generations of holder. (Most people don't pay too much attention to what generation of holder they have and could wind up comparing apples and oranges.

One key thing is are the coins real? Most if not all of the coins that fake slab so far have had fake coins in them, and the coins have not matched the labels grade wise. Pictures are really needed.

If it turns out the slabs ARE fake, and they aren't too expensive I would be interested in them.
