Thanks for the heads up. Who is making these things?

The real coin looks so much better than the counterfeit fake one. Too many hairlines on the first one and it is a bit too bright for my liking.

Also, it's a bit comical how the reverse slab hologram looks a bit more real on the fake slab than the real one!

China.

Illegal, unethical, immoral and will keep new collectors out of the hobby.
25 years ago no way i even thought of this happening. Fake coins have been around forever. Fake coins in Fake PCGS slabs is beyond bad.

Interesting that eBay chose to remove gol.maxwe counterfeit PCGS 1917-d listing, but has chosen NOT to remove his counterfeit 1875-cc PCGS listing:

A quick question so I can better understand:
Who would go through the trouble of making a 'Details' graded CC 20 cent piece? Do they make dozens of these?

Hundreds... thousands?

Labor and goods is cheap overseas and shipping costs is almost non-existent from there to here.

Sell one in the US and they are ahead for costs. Everything else is money in the bank/coffers/buried.
