What do you think about this seller in China with PCGS & NGC slabs?

Interesting... Over 1200 feedback, all positive. The bar codes look a little narrow.

    I say looking at those photos, whats in China should stay in China.

    I think if you win any auction you can request to have the label's grade upgraded for a small fee.

    I dunno this one seems cleaned to me. Maybe a poor dip job thou.

    I guess you could search Heritage and see if you can find any matches and see if the coins match up or not.

    Well, the NGC slab is fake, so I can only imagine (most of) the PCGS ones can't be good.

    Dunno, I looked at his other auctions. If they are all fake, then I'm scared image

    Why would anyone fake a NCS slab?
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    Exactly why they would, no one expects the Spanish Inquisition.

    Some of the early fakes reported were ANACS problem holders. Buyers bidding on problem coins are likely not going to check that carefully. 1200 fake slabs possibly sold already and buyers happy!? Yikes!

    That one's got to be real; no self respecting Chinese would let one with that many hairlines through ...
