That is not a reputable third party grader. A classic proof should be graded by NGC, PCGS or ANACS. Is the coin in the slab the same as the bottom pictures?

I agree, they are different coins. Lincoln's face in the slab pic is way too shiny to be the one in the closeup. (SSK is right about the pictures being lifted from PCGS. You can tell by the light streak by the L in Liberty.) Also, mid-century proofs are INCREDIBLY hard to find in CAM and especially DCAM. I forget the percentages but 1 out of thousands of proofs will be DCAM. A true 69DCAM is $16k+. Unfortunately, this one is likely just PF65-67 and about $10-15.

If your coin looks like the bottom one, you have a home run. Those are images of their example coin, not the one in the basement holder.

GSAC is not a reputable slabber, in fact the 'finny' slabs are not even sonically sealed. The slabs are reportedly manufactured by "CSI" and are/were sold to a number of companies.
I have a small collection of 10 or 15 different companies, labels, grading standards that use them.
I believe on some iterations there is a small hole that you can insert a paperclip into to pop them out. Or you can open them by tapping.

This isn't a matter of a difference of opinion. You appear to be dealing with a thief. Treat them accordingly.
