What do you think? You don't see these to often, a fake coin in a PCGS slab.

One-look fake or altered slab. Obviously not PR-64 CAM.

Fake everything including the slab. That generation and label style are the ones faked the most for PCGS slabs

As usual, the date logo is a dead giveaway, as if one was needed. How the Chinese are so crafty if every other respect but inevitably show wrongly shaped and sized numerals is beyond me.

My deskjet printer produces far superior graphics than the insert in that "slab".

Surprisingly it comes back genuine. Last known sale was July 7th at the FUN Show for $6756. A further look at said coin.

Fake to be certain. So it pays to verify before purchasing.

The coin mentioned in the original post by the OP was a fake on ebay, which has been removed.

Because they copied a known slabbed coin.
