    The EVERYTHING looks wrong.

    Maybe its my monitor but that looks about as much like a PCGS slab as a Pop Tart.

    This one isn't even trying to make them look the same as current PCGS holders! I hope eBay ends the auction.

    The slab (both front and back) says PCCB---Professional Coin Collection Box so I doubt they are really trying to fake a PCGS slab. The PCGS on the label is there possibily to indicate they are using PCGS grading standards (yea, right). It's coming out of China so it's probably fake in any event so I would pass even if I needed this coin for my collection.

    They must have developed thier own grading company using the PCGS style holder and PCGS on the label.

  • Here is the best part. If the coin gets lost in shipping or is not received.

  • Hey, but it's from "the collection of folk."image
  • LOL. After you get the coin you can say "I got folked"

    Too funny.

    "Professional Coin Collection Box"
    "XF Coin MS-64"

    And I'll bet the PCGS logo is in the plastic.

    It says I may rest assured that the purchase, but I think someone set up us the bomb.

    But even though it says Professional coin collectors box, it does say PCGS as the grade.

  • An XF MS66 coin? No bar code on the slab? 4 FB?
    What else is wrong with this coin and slab?
