Check out this fake 1881 proof Trade $ in a Pcgs holder. Not sure if the coin was switched out or the holder is fake as well. I did report this as a fake to EBay. The cert. # does check out.

I don't think T.DAve would be fooled by a shabby fake like that. PR63,LOL! There is an aspect of the blue inserts that the forgers never get right (to my knowledge) that is evident here (which I won't mention publicly). I don't know much about fake slabs so can't comment on the diagnostics for those.
GACK! to the third degree!
How can you tell the slab is fake?
I'm glad the fake is being reported, but if someone doesn't know the difference between a harshly cleaned/fake VF and a PR63CAM, they're sort of asking for trouble!!

Not if you use the new "Grading By Braille (TM)" standards.
The thread title is misleading - it should note that it's a fake coin in a fake holder.

Congratulations guys for getting that listing pulled.
It's the Fake holder that worries me the most. Those idiots ( makers of fake slabs ) have NO ethics, morals or common sense.

looks like it got pulled
This is why a greenhorn like myself in numis stays worried and almost just want to not even worry about collecting pieces. But I have such a passion for it.
The coin is obvious, but the holder is a bigger concern for me. So I was happy to see the real one for comparison:
