What is your question? Did you check PCGS web site to see if the slab is correct, not a fake? John1  |

Neither the slab nor the coin look authentic to me.

still don't understand why they would have place a very high grade on something like this. If by "they" you mean PCGS, they didn't. Fake coin, in a fake slab. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

There are many counterfeit gold American Eagles out there but this has to be
one of the worst I have seen. Not even close.

Agree, does not look legit. Wondering where/how this item acquired--coin shop, online seller, from a guy on a motorbike, other?

Wow, very poorly done fake. Rather than list what is incorrect let's just list what is correct.. "insert crickets chirping here"

I'm confused as to why a counterfeiter would go through the trouble of putting a coin that obviously fake in a fake slab?

Yep. The holographic label says the slab was tampered with, and so the "coin" would be a slow boat knock-off.

If you have already bought it, the seller has defrauded you.

Many people assume that if it is in a TPG holder, then it is authentic and graded accurately. They spend too much time looking at the label than the coin itself. I am not sure how many people could get fooled by this coin, but I am guessing at least one person was. Although the coin is a bad fake, but what caught my eye first was the incorrect font on the label. Suffering from bust half fever. Want to learn how to attribute early half dollars by die variety?

The reverse in particular looks crudely designed.

As noted the coin is a fake and a fake slab. The barcode does not match the Cert number. The barcode comes up 0071886311. I agree with Frog that the reverse is crudely designed.
