Eeek! Did I buy a (fake?) coin in a fake NGC slab?!

Anyone! Now I'm thinking that NGC slab is fake and could possibly mean the coin is fake. Also, the seller let it go for a very low price (in AGE terms).

Thanks!

I see no reason to think it is fake

Do a cert look up ATS.

Coin is fine, you just got it at a good price, people are scared of Pm's right now, dont care what the forum bulls say, many are bailing out going back to cash.

Looks fine to me. Maybe they're trying to unload it before they drop under $100.

The reason I am suspicious is because in my research of fake slabs, the text looks a bit borderline. Then again, it's a horrible photo so perhaps that is the reason for my skepticism. $168.xx shipped for that, at current prices, I thought was a steal.

Welp, I did a lookup and got this: link

It looks legitimate but isn't that how fakers do it? They get a legitimate cert number and use it on a fake slab/coin? Regardless, I guess we'll see once I get it.

Thanks for everyone's help!

I do know you got a steal

Looks like a bulk order TV promo coin that was put in some of their old style slabs to use them up. What was gold at in 2008?

mkman123 · October 5, 2011 6:33AM

looks like you got a great deal

I don't know if it's fake or not, but I always get a little suspicious when eBay sellers post sideways (or sometimes even upside down) photos, and also when they only show one side of the coin!
