What's with this PCGS holder?

Font looks off. The raised corners are modern version. It is not a 30th anniversary special throwback holder. ??? Never seen this generation of PCGS holder faked before. Is it for sure a fake, though?

There have been a few threads about that seller in a couple different sites. Not good news in them.

This seller is already the subject of other threads here with some controversy regarding a Commemorative half that is (was?) also for sale on eBay. Not looking good from here.



I got the sense that this seller got some cred at eBay with some legit PCGS and NGC holdered coins sold in January & February, and it was a set-up for what appears to now be a scam with counterfeit holders. Beware !

Here is the other thread, with additional links in other comments. Worth the read.

I won an auction from this seller this week. Same issues with my auction. I simply told him his cert numbers were wrong and he canceled the auction. it smells bad.

Yeah that stinks

Yep that aroma is getting real strong selling PCGS fakes.

I especially like the Pariffial Toned description as follows...

Wow, thanks for the heads-up, guys! I knew about the other topic, but did not read that deeply into it, and I think his fake holders had already been taken down when I clicked on the eBay links in the thread. This is the first time I have seen a fake green tag PCGS holder.

Terrible fake

They still have 100% feed back.

the coin looks awful

I saw this coin listed a couple days ago. I noticed the label, and how funky it looked. The cert number does check out on our host's website though, so I'm not sure what to think. I have never seen an OGH with that type of font before.

Bad news - the holder is fake.

Good news - it isn't a very good fake.

This crook, ahello2u23, has moved on to sell fake meteorites that are just gravel from his driveway. PS, his feedback is now down to 95%:

Wow... thanks for the alert.... Not that I was shopping for meteorites - but I like looking at them. Cheers, RickO

Pictures have been pulled now, so that implies he's feeling some heat??

This crook is pathetic. He just got caught glueing together a PCGS holder with a coin he inserted:

How does a person exist on e-bay with a 91.6 % feedback?

BillJones

The picture is gone from the listing, but I get the picture. That "PCGS label" that Arizonararecoins posted is pathetic. If you are fooled by that, you need to do a lot more homework before you consider buying any more coins.
