The eBayer, mikcoffe2, has this COUNTERFEIT coin that he just sold on eBay for $760:
1902-s $10 Gold COUNTERFEIT
Pathetic that this coin could ever fool anyone, but, some people buy the holder and not the coin.

NGC encapsulation guarantees the MS-63 condition.
Obverse: Shows Liberty encircled by 13 stars with the word "Liberty" on her hair band.
Reverse: Features a heraldic eagle with a shield on its breast, surrounded by "United States of America" and the denomination.
Guaranteed by the U.S. Mint.

No, eBay has warned me too many times for interfering in these scams. I did contact NGC. If you type in the NGC cert.#, it says, "Grade: CONTACT NGC CUSTOMER SERVICE"

If the holder is a fake it looks pretty well made to me. Scary stuff.
Unfortunately, counterfeiting near perfect holders has become childs play because of 3d printers. The only real defense, against these couterfeit slabs, is the TPG's MUST show pictures of the real coins in the holders, as NGC does. It is imperative that PCGS starts showing pictures of ALL their certified coins, as this is a security issue.

Agreed 100%. Not sure why PCGS is not taking pics of everything they grade now. It is SO important for the hobby.
Very bad fake!

Why do you say "Gone"? The listing is still showing-up on eBay.

This is a counterfeit coin and holder. NGC is aware of it and are working on it. Hopefully the authorities are now involved.
