I saw another one on eBay, different seller. Then I came across a PCGS letter (looked very official) signifying the First Strike status. Apparently these letters accompanied the coins inside the boxes. Very strange. Perhaps a partnership with the China Mint
The letter was going for $20 on the Bay. I wonder how easy it would be for a con artist to photocopy ...
This is actually an official box that was made when PCGS was first introduced in China. I'm not sure if we still make it over there. You might ask Don for more details.

Thanks Phil. I would use something like this as gift box; so if I'm giving a non-collector (getting harder to find in my family) a gift (birthyear - holiday - graduation etc.) I would have a nice presentation box instead of just gifting a slab.

(Well, duh, LordM, ya think so? What gave you the hint? Was it the Chinese text? Hmmm...)
Then again, it could be a counterfeit.
I m with LM. I wonder if it's authorized?
