Is this a real PCGS slab?

Looks fine to me. I don't know the generation, but I think it is recent.
I've bought from the seller before without issue.

why do you think it might not be real??

The three-pronged holders are recent and this one looks fine to me. As does the coin.

Generation 4.5 or 5.0??? Looks fine.

It's PCGS's latest holder.





That dollar sure is hairlined!

Because I can't believe that coin is NOT in a details slab.

Obviously you have not seen a Proof 61 before.

There are no breaks in the sonic seal and this is a PNG member dealer. Should be fine.

Well known dealer, no issues whatsoever.

Hairlines are expected on 19th century proofs. Those are like bag marks, scuffs, grazes, etc. that you see on BU Morgans. And at the 61 grade you can have a ton of them. The coin is heavily hairlined. But, it is not badly cleaned, scrubbed, wire brushed, scratched, etc. which are the things that would preclude getting a grade. The eagle still has nearly 100% of its cameo frost. Liberty has a considerable amount. That's usually the first to go on a badly cleaned coin.

It appears to have some cleaning in addition to the terrible hairlines. MS61 is the "we admit there are problems but here is a sympathy grade".



I wouldn't own that thing even for the cheap price it would sell for if there was not a reserve.

I see nothing questionable about the slab....Cheers, RickO

Very true!

Looks consistent enough for a PR61 grade, though I personally might've voted PR60 if this had been a GTG poll.
