3. You can't write any information that pertains to the coin on the slab, such as amount and date purchased.

Actually, it looks like the photos he used in the listing were stolen from an ebay listing that sold about a month ago.

So not really a fake slab, just a scam using stolen images to sell counterfeits.

The coin slab is not shown. The seller must have revised the listing.

It will get removed.


I have noticed on ebay that the bad Chinese counterfeit coin photos get taken down on a regular basis. It appears the seller sold 12 coins using stolen photos before the listing was removed.

Is the use of genuine coin photos a growing trend by the Chinese counterfeiters?

Wonder if the grading services would consider or could implement a low-cost slab authentication service for the older ones that don't have holograms or modern safeguards. With submission of photos and videos but only as a moment in time seevice.

I was in Prague in the Czech Republic for the holidays and occasionally looked at the coin forum.

On a particular day, I looked at this post and then clicked on the link to see the original ebay listing. By then it had been taken down and I got the familiar "We looked everywhere..." screen, but this time with a twist--it was written in Czech!
I thought you'd all enjoy seeing it.

I like how this guy (all probably the same person) shows the coin's dimensions in order to "prove" that his obviously fake coins are real.
