    Doesn't look or seem right to me at all.
    When in doubt, don't.

    Looks like a Not Genuine Genuine holder to me.

    The starting price, oh what a bargain!

    The certificate number checks out correctly.

    I'm finding that the last year has really worn me down as far as Lincoln Cents go.

    It wouldn't surprise me if this slab turns out to be legit. Where's Don Willis when we need him???

    Probably an '09 S VDB with the S ground off.

    Wish I could see better pics.

    Looks like a holder produced just for HSN or similar TV shopping show.

    Nothing in the description or specifics states PCGS

    It says PCGS right in the title and on the holder itself.

    Bird's eye view of the coin. Rediculous.

    Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...

    So it's the same exact coin??? The numbers match.

    Good catch. I guess I'd better not bid.

    I recall seeing these before as a promo. Unfortunately, I don't recall where or when...

    Maybe they all have the same exact number or something?

    That wouldn't explain why both images have a shadow (or reflection) below the slab.

    I sent the seller a question asking, Would it be possible to see a larger photo of the coin please?
    Their reply: That's the best photo I have and it's real.

    For some reason I am less than convinced.

    I also replied to her and said: OK. I'm doing to ask my friend Don WIllis, the President of PCGS, about this because I've never seen them before.
    When in doubt, don't.

    Maybe they are um... ya know... borrowing the image.

    Well... I didn't want to accuse New York Mint of lifting a photo off an ebay seller with a feedback of only 2.... image

    Nope! Check the feedback....the feedback went to three (3) and canon47 bought the coin for min. bid.

    How is this possible, feedback left minutes after the auction closed?

    OK, I see whre the last identical one sold on Jul 21, 2009, just a coincidence that buyer happen to leave feedback when the other auction was prematurely ended.

    The same seller had another one, and the auction ended for it on 7/21. The feedback you are referring to was for that one and not for this one that ended on 7/28. The one that ended on 7/28 did not sell due to having no bids.

    I see that you discovered that. I guess I need to read every post.image

    If you noticed, the previous one that sold, the NY mint piece, and this one that didn't sell....all the same cert number. Looks like the seller has perfected coin cloning...image
