Great catch zas107.....this ebay crook, kinc6727, sells cheap coins under $100, he's built up cheap feedback and is now trying to commit a $7,500 crime.

The eBay fake holder and coin were pretty bad and I am glad to see it got taken down quickly.

Just for info. If the cert. number is put into the review program you can see real coin when it sold at Sack' Bowers in 2010 and compare the images.

im probably the only one that doesn't know; what is this review program?

silverpop

once again i'll ask what impact does this have on the billion dollar fake coin market



cause I have high doubts this have any impact on the fake coin market

LindeDad

When you do a cert. number look up if you page down the info page it gives a review of past auction appearances of that coin in this case you can see the physical images are not the same coin. And I was able to see it even on the smaller I-phone. ( In this case they have copied a coin that is graded by PCGS.)



And for even the pocket change collector learning authentication is a base skill in the battle.

Here's the PCGS certification link where you just enter the cert # and any pictures and previous auction sales of the coin will appear. I know most here already know about this look-up tool, but it is now a necessaity for all to use:

PCGS cert. look-up tool

below are NGC's and NCS's look-up tool:

i figured this is to what you referred. just hadn't seen it called "review program."



to me it is simply the "cert page" for short.
