    This auction has been reported to Mike Sherman at PCGS.

    edited to add: The reason for reporting it to PCGS, is that the PCGS name is used in the title and description of the auction, yet the pic of the label for the slab does not look like any PCGS label I've ever seen- it lacks the PCGS name, cert. #, etc.

    Interesting that they put a "reserve" on the coin......

    Will cost $15+ so far if it doesn't sell....image

    Was that the brown paper wrapper era of PCGS?

    Is it not funny how yet another scammer keeps all the ID private??? image
  • I think it is probably a legitimate PCGS label. Probably a PCGS 7 label and they aren't showing the far right side or bottom of the label. On PCGS 7 the serial number is down near the bottom edge and the bar code is on the back which leaves a fair amount of space between the date and the serial number.

    Here's one from another ebay auction with a PCGS 7 label so you can see how the full label looks.

    here is the label in question

    and here it is cropped from the full slab picture above (sorry for the small size)

    So it can easily be a real PCGS label.
  • Looks like a scam but why the reserve? take the $1500 and run. I wouldn't bid
