Bought on ebay. I can't decipher if this is an authentic PCGS slab or not.

Did you check the serial number on the PCGS website? They have a tool to help validate coins.

Some of the bulk submissions didn't use to get the code box on the back label for whatever reason.

Does the front say PCGS in the lower right?

Here is the front. I'm just weary because of all the counterfeits going around. I just check the PCGS website, but who's to say the seller didn't just make a copy of a different coin that resembles the exact same traits... any feedback to determine if the slab is authentic would be excellent. Thanks everyone.

Looks fine to me. The certification number matches, and I have several slabs that look like the back on this one (holographic strip but no QR code).

Of all the coins to counterfeit, I'd think a modern DCAM70 proof would be one of the harder ones to pull off. Looks legit to me, nice!

BTW, if it was a bulk certification (likely) then check the #s on either side...

Quote:
For an order to be eligible for Bulk Submission, it must contain a minimum of one hundred (100) coins, with a maximum of five (5) different dates, mint marks, denominations or varieties - no more than five (5) different PCGS coin numbers per submission form.


checking the cert#s around your target will tell you if it matches the above...
