It is housed in a fake PCGS slab, so our hosts should be made aware of it too.

Sadly when you check the serial number on the certification page, it goes to a 1928 double in MS-65.
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?
Miss liberty had a terrible nose job done lol. Anyone who collects these shouldn't be fooled but you never know . These counterfiet slabs are getting out of hand!

You can't go by just the "nose job." I have a PCGS MS63 1928 with a similar nose....only worse.....her entire head is flat without any facial features. 100% legit and well struck coin otherwise.
The date looks cartoonish. And the actual condition looks more like AU from the photo. Seller was too lazy didn't even provide a reverse photo per Ebay rules.....lol. Find it interesting that it's from a longtime seller with 100% FB. Is this a hijacked account? Or maybe it's that the seller knows bars and not Saints?
The scary part is that you could have some big buyer purchase some St. Gaudens $20 gold coins in bulk or have some bullion dealer who doesn't know anything except the current quotes for gold getting a hold of something like this as a piece in a large lot coins. The coin is in a "PCGS holder" after all, so it must be good.

Because anyone who outbids me will know better.

Told him to go to Heritage and look for any similar PCGS grade MS65 $20 gold piece. He should be
able to see a huge difference.
