This slab from our host seems to have caused quite a stir on another forum, some are saying its fake, due to not popping on pcgs website, but barcode is scanning.
Seems to be the reverse of the holder and the weak coin strike that is causing some to say it is fake.
I was wondering what do we here think?

Consensus is it's OK if you read the rest of the posts!
It shows up in the cert check, just no pictures?

That coin looks quite genuine to me.

It looks good to me.
Based on the pictures, I would say authentic. Cheers, RickO
What is supposedly wrong with the coin's authenticity? What makes people think it is not genuine?

The reverse PCGS decal looks "off," but I suppose it's OK, just like it was photographed(?).

Looks like goo residue from old dealer stickers.

It isn't so much that- it is the shape of the decal. It appears slightly oblong, whereas I thought the decal is more straight. Again, probably just the way it is photographed.

barcode scans.
i'd do a comp to the generations of holders in this range but i'm tied up doing some inventory. if someone else links it, we can run it down.
Buy (or in this case, examine) the coin, not (just) the holder. The coin appears to be genuine.

I've seen genuine problem coins placed in counterfeit PCGS slabs. I think there was an example of such an incident earlier this month with a 1945 Mercury dime featured here on the forums.
With that stated, the above gold twenty does look MS62, so in this case, I think Mark is correct, and the coin (along with the holder/slab) is acceptable.
