eBay Slab Question

Does it look to anyone else that this coin may not actually be in the slab? Link

Which is really too bad because I like the coin and the other similar coin that the seller is offering (although I don't think I would pay the asking price). Not only does the label look odd to me, but the frost on the left side of the obverse and right side of the reverse slab look really odd.

The certification number checks out.

The photo sort of looks suspect doesn't it? The gap between the top of the coin and holder is smaller than the gap between the bottom of the coin and the holder. This would be consistent with the camera being held a bit more toward the top of the slab and angled down to shoot the object. But I don't see how the edge of the bottom of the coin would be more visible than the top.

I don't see the rubber insert in the holder. There is no evidence of the plastic over the coin.

Looking at the seller's feed back I only see one transaction with him as the seller. None of his purchases are still active. They could have been "penny junk" to build feedback.

Seoul, South Korea... Long way to try and get one's money back.

I'd give this auction a pass.

Can anyone read the bar code on the slab? Does it match the cert number shown?

The barcode and numbers do not match in a 3of9 barcode format.

From the pic, I'd be very suspicious. The insert is loose, and the coin looks very clear for a slab pic from that distance.

The misting is very reminiscent of super glue
