Very scary, informative & alarming video. Just another reason I no longer buy coins. Question, is it the Chinese government or Chinese entrepreneurs minting these fakes?

Great information! thanks

I have noticed that PCGS slabs are getting faked WAY more than NGC (In fact, I have not even heard of a fake NGC slab yet)

So I may just buy NGC slabs and forgo PCGS.

Has anyone out there seen an NGC fake slab?

Yes! But not nearly to the extent of the bad PCGS ones; some examples (bad on the left):

Correct, the ones on the left fakes with the matching genuine on the right.

I checked the cert numbers on the last two. The last one is an invalid number. The penultimate one stated "possible counterfeit slab". Very nice!
