What is wrong here?

https://www.ebay.com/itm/232257424919

The coin number (6943) on the slab indicates it is a 1855 $1 Seated Liberty, but there is a 1855 $1G in the slab. Error? Counterfeit slab? I'm sure the seller likes it because if you check the coin by the cert # or coin number it has a suggested value of $8k.

    It looks like a mechanical error.
    The PCGS cert number does show 6943, which matches the label.
    But the correct PCGS number is 7532, which is not even close.

    A clear case of buy the coin and not the holder.
