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.

Why would you think someone here submitted these coins?
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

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?

I used to be somebody, now I'm just a coin collector. Recipient of the coveted "You Suck" award, April 2009 for cherrypicking a 1833 CBHD LM-5, and April 2022 for a 1835 LM-12, and again in Aug 2012 for picking off a 1952 FS-902.

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.
