    Do they always call it "questionable authenticity" or do they sometimes call it a counterfeit?
    What would make it questionable, unless the coins have so much wear the diagnostics aren't visible?

    They use the "Question Authenticty" term as counterfiets are supposed to be turned in to the Secret Service according to the law is what I was led to believe.

    That's a lot of bucks to gamble with or were they hoping to slip a couple by.

  • Should the Secret Service still not be brought in on this so the "coins" will not be sold to people not knowing better?

    Why would you think someone here submitted these coins?

    Ron I would think that the PCGS legal staff would have to be contacted on that. And like most legal questions the answer would probably be "No Comment."

    How many here thinks this guy didn't know they were fake?

    The result of shopping on eBay perhaps?
    I used to be somebody, now I'm just a coin collector.

    That crossed my mind. But, if the submitter knew this was a key date, and bought multiples of them raw from different sellers, he/she should have at least came out with an authentic one IMO. Unless, he/she bought all of them from one source for either a large sum of money or maybe it was a "too good to be true" steal, which in that case that's karma bitin' them on the behind for trying to get away with it.

    Excellent point. If he bought these from multiple souces the chances of buying all counterfeits would be quite low.
