Gimme a break I don't think this is a fake. On the PCGS website under my account/submission, it says "counterfeit." I immediately called them to find out what happened, and concerned they might crack it out and body bag it, but the lady said they would leave it in the original holder......I HOPE. I'm assumed it didn't cross, and the charge to my credit card bears that out....but COUNTERFEIT?

The coin looks genuine, however, the toning might be a little bit questionable.

@Crazyb0....now that's a fake

True, and yes, maybe they think it's questionable color. I've seen other high quality Ikes with similar toning, plus ANACS gave it a straight grade. Oh well. I just hope they return it in the original holder.

Probably just an administrative error, it should just say DNC

That's strange. I would never have questioned this coins authenticity.

The Chinese get better and better...

Apart from the toning, which may be the issue here, the coin looks very genuine to me. But artificial toning on a genuine coin doesn't make the coin a counterfeit...

I'm guessing a typo............I hope

...and you're right, artificial toning doesn't make it counterfeit

Personally I would take PCGS to court over this.

Would be faster to just pay them directly for their lawyers costs and skip all the steps of them being awarded the fees when the suit is thrown out

I did send them an email and made them aware of it, and suggested it was a typo, and asked them to correct their record.
