This one for sale by a Canadian Seller- I sent him PMs explaining the issues, he cancelled the auction (error in the listing) and relists with a shorter auction time and an opportunity to make an offer.
This is the 4th different cert I have documented they have used for ’81-CCs- it has an auction archive listed with images.

The problem is, if PCGS doesn't prosecute the offenders they will just continue to do it.

Scary.

I thought this was the rare 4-prong holder at first!
Scary that this is from Canada.
The problem with prosecution is, who can be prosecuted to stop this?
Maybe start with the people that are advertizing them?

Would it do any good if they are using hacked accounts?
Don't know. But if they don't do anything we'll never find out

Until our Government does something about banning Aliexpress from selling in the US, there won't be much that can be done about it. It needs to be stopped at the source, and that source is China. Alliexpress is a source not only for numismatic fakes, but fakes of all kinds from jewelry to clothing.
This is who is selling them; they have changed their name several times but use the same website; they openly advertise on Face Book...

The crooks just keep working their scams. Until successfully prosecuted and penalized, it will not stop... maybe not even then. Cheers, RickO
And the latest just listed tonight...

This one was ahead of the curve- just remove the pesky label

As time goes on, these fakes are getting more and more deceptive.
.......................and it's REAL SCARY.
