    Bad photographs are the indicator. This guy says they are bad because he is in a wheelchair. His wheelchair should be in a jail cell somewhere with him in it. Almostly equally reprehensible are the unlucky 13 bids that have been placed on this thing. Some people are too greedy or stupid to ever learn.

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.

    The photos alone should be a huge clue something is wrong.

    Pics are so horrible that I don't see how you can determine that it's a fake. By the slab?

    The slab is fake.
    Can't tell about the coin...it likely is too.
    But the holder is a poor fake.

    The PCGS slab was obviously fake....the pic was too bad to tell about the coin, but it would likely be a safe assumption that it was also fake or altered.
