Counterfeit slabs

I'm aware that there are counterfeit PCGS slabs in the marketplace. Are there any known phony ANACS or NGC slabs out there as well?

    I am going to guess the "tell" on the ANAC holder is that the identification information is printed over the ANAC green labels. james

    I literally laughed out loud when I saw Jenny's number...!

    And definitely don't change that number. It's gotta stay in that slab.

    NGC is just beyond that number on their real ones. Be on the lookout.

    Not sure if the photo or what but that ANACS slab just look all sorts off.
    NGC is a lot better which is scary... (Fonts can be easily fixed)

    Both have terrible UPC codes, Zebra does not recognize them.
    But sooner or later they will figure that out, so one must be quite careful where they buy coins.

    Bar code on Jenny's cent says "PACIFIC" :/

    The other bar code is correct (018058631560234001) == Coin # 8058 (1879 PR $4 Coiled Hair) PR63, cert 1560234-001.
