the 2 negative feedbacks the seller has are from the same buyer. Bought raw coins and they submitted to NGC....came back not genuine.

I'm by far no expert on this but for the last couple months I have been window shopping all over the web and have not seen this type of PCGS holder, but like I said, I'm no expert, just personal opinion.

Check out this article on counterfeit holders on the PCGS webpage. In short PCGS is saying do not buy coins from China on ebay. I'd take that advice in this case.

Will the real Trade Dollar please stand up.

Is it this one.

Or maybe this one on Heritage, you think?

That took all of 5 minutes to do--and I reported it too.

Scary is right--that auction closed at $1,025.00
ebay better intervene--it's counterfeiting and a trademark violation.

that was definitely a fake, I didn't see this topic until just now but that Trade dollar shouldn't have fooled anyone and if they didn't notice that the slab is all wrong also. I have to say that is the worst looking slab I have seen in some time, the label is very badly made and the plastic shell is to clear. Not to mention the other markers missing on the shell that original PCGS slabs have. looked through his other auctions and he has a Sacky that looks like a fake slab as well, not 100% sure about the Morgan though, the case doesn't look exactly right but it has the sonic sealed circles
Does George look a little snarly in this picture to anyone else

That's why I

1) stay clear of coins in China
2) stay clear of E-Bay
3) am really concerned what will happen as this slop floods the market and inexperienced collectors like myself get fleeced. I now question every coin I see in case it is fake.

PCGS needs to photograph the coins they put in holders and and keep a database like heritage does. I think NGC is doing this now.

that is going to be the best thing anyone can do. Question everything and only purchase when it checks out as legit
