IMO you are correct. The spacing of the letters/numbers are way off for starters.

Here is a slab of the same generation in Heritage's history.

I'd say fake. If one goes to all the trouble to fake the plastic, why not take a little time and do the fake insert better?

Doesn't look right.

Obvious fake

I have never seen a PCGS AU58 Red either. If it was that red and PCGS liked it, I think it would have made unc.

Greetings,

After noticing this thread, I decided to look up the certification number of this coin: http://www.pcgs.com/Cert/26913158/ . This is showing up as a Barber Dime.

The image of the coin itself also does not look right and this new seller has 0 feedback. Also, this seller does not accept PayPal and is only accepting checks/money orders, which is also suspicious tactic used by scammers because at least PayPal has Buyer Protection. I've decided to ban this member/IP, and remove the listing off USA Coin Book as it looks fake.

Kind regards
USA Coin Book

You looked up the wrong cert number.

it looks funny, fake.

usacoinbook · September 16, 2013 5:28AM

You're right Placid, this was the wrong number. I copied and pasted the number that the seller listed on the description, but it looks like the number from the image is different.

Looks like PCGS A U58.

Being almost full red and a 58 is odd too.

MsMorrisine · September 16, 2013 7:49AM

the label is quite obviously fake.

Real slab?
