This one is pretty bad, the slab is counterfeit, the number checks out ok on PCGS but it has a different coin than the one posted on ebay.

Khromtau and Dearborn, I reported it to PCGS (for whatever that's worth).
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

@Kromatu ... "This one is pretty bad, the slab is counterfeit, the number checks out ok on PCGS but it has a different coin than the one posted on ebay. ..."
( about the Lincoln Cent, off-center, in the PCGS holder )

...I contacted the seller, & he insists that all is legit, as he (says) he sent the coin to PCGS himself ...hmmm... the guy seems legit, has plenty of 100% positive feedback, & his items all seem o.k. ... something's amiss... suggested he contact PCGS, could be their mistake ...

Could be an issue with PCGS, they are far from perfect.

Sorry CCF staff, I wasn't quite sure of the best place to put it. Thanks for correcting me.

Looks like its a PCGS error. Wrong label was applied. The coin above is under 47904212

The coin is real, just the label isn't, since it's for a different coin.
