A seller from China has a fake coin in what appears to be a PCGS holder.

A similar thread is on the US Coin forum. The same seller has several coins in holders.

Link 1761 Mexico 8 Reales

A misspelling on the coin gave it away. He spelled Carolvs... Farolvs.

I know of 12 different varieties for that date and mint - but that certainly isn't one of them.

DAMN thats not good for the hobby as a whole. The picture of the pile of fake slabs (in the liteside forum thread) awaiting a lowlife in the US to distribute them is particularly disturbing.

One of his coins is currently going for $2,025.00 with 17 hours to go!
