I’ve seen this fake/copy of the 2015 high relief gold coin before, but never in some form of a slab. I’m curious to know why the cert # and coin # are both linked to a 2020 silver eagle? I mean if you’re gonna fake everything, why not at least get the coin # right on the fake slab?
In case the auction gets taken down, here’s the pictures:

Interesting. first time I’ve seen that as well.

First for First Strike.
Not that good of one. I don't do FS but don't they normally have a date and designation on them.
Also that reverse label has shown up on the fake slabs previously in a thread(s). Several things wrong with this one but still be aware because some are much more deceptive.
Thanks for the post.

A pretty bad fake. And a coin that was never made in proof.

Auction down..........good work!
Great work getting it removed - AND - getting pictures. Cheers, RickO
Whoever put this one together wasn't trying too hard. It's got the NFC symbol on the back of the label, but not molded into the plastic on the lower left front of the slab.

Now listen boy, I'm tryin' to teach you sumthin' . . . . that ain't an optical illusion, it only looks like an optical illusion.
My mind reader refuses to charge me....
All the more reason to buy Gold Shield coins that have photos of the coin as well as slab number.
And then there is this

That’s so crazy they tried putting a First Strike label on a coin minted in 1875. I guess the Pony Express had to take it directly from the Mint to PCGS 🧐

Either that or they figured time travel.
Throw a coin enough times, and suppose one day it lands on its edge.
I love it when they’re that obvious. One look at the first pic and you can tell in a nano-second it’s a fake. At least the insert has the correct amount of prongs holding the coin in place. Usually they add an extra prong.

I’m not familiar with the normal FS label so I can’t comment on that. But there’s one security feature normally on the plastic that definitely isn’t on that holder.
Barcode reads but a bad cert:
