Don't know about that.

no fake that APCGS, note many serious collector didn't like them, due to the fact that dealer self graded and other stuff (over-grading). whether this is genuine wet ink transfer I'm less sure about, you'll need someone that it expert in this area to have some clue as to its authenticity.

i have never heard of aPCGS and the ebay title said PCGS and the flash did not allow me to see the letter A on the hologram.

Since the label arrangement was so different from PCGS I was so confused since if your trying to fake something it should look like the ' real ' thing...

thank you everyone for your replies ! ! !

regards

Lots of info re APCGS on this site:
https://www.coincommunity.com/numis...GS&sa=Search

A not very successful attempt to get into the grading game in Australia, (riding the shirt tail of PCGS) that fortunately did not last long, so it's not unusual that some of you might never have heard of it.

It met a fairly swift demise.
