Does this look like a real slab and coin?

The serial number checks out but would like to hear from the more knowledgable...

According to my barcode scanner it's a fake.

You can buy as many as you like! Also, many other similar slabbed coins. Unfortunately.

Edited my previous message that expressed doubts over the coin. The one above mine nails it. Also, just from comparing the coin with the actual Heritage auction listings, you'll see a dramatic change in luster (well, one coin has it, the other doesn't, etc).

Hi LeeBone, check out my link above. These are Chinese fakes. They have that same serial number.

link to same coin discussed earlier

Also, I did a bar code scan and it came back fake. Same scan on the real one came back OK.

I did not even see the prior link

Something in my gut was just telling me to double check this one and seek the help from the boards

That one should not be listed now it got nuked in a thread earlier this morning.
