edited to add: That new reflective strip (or what ever it is) at the top of the printed label that always catches the light and camera is gone.

His 1887DMPL does not match auction pics either.

I didn't even notice. Great mismatch of label style and gasket
@hounddog, for the original link, look at the serial number and barcode.
How can ya tell? I mean about the slab. What's the dead give away?
The colors on the slab insert look pixelated and the "S$1" looks off to me. The seller didn't provide pictures of the reverse of the slab, so no info there on the hologram or anything like that. Plus the gasket
Looks like a decent fake slab though...would definitely trick newbies.

Both this 1921 and your 1887 have sold previously in auctions. How is it that your pictures do not resemble those of the other auctions? Are you selling fake PCGS slabs?
bob
And here is the thing the eBay seller is offering.
PCGS now recommends that you check the serial numbers on their site for just this reason. BUT you need to also be able to find the genuine coin to be sure.

edited....look at the 1918 Lincoln commem seller sold....the cert label LOOKS like an older, 'OGH' yellowish label, yet look at the cert #/series #, the font is way off on that one, and that sold Jan 8th.

edited to add: I enlarged the picture as much as I could...the little bitty "pcgs" to the right of the coin does not seem to be there...any one else?

The holder pictured in the auction by the OP doesn't even come close to looking authentic.

He sure likes selling counterfeit slabs, and seems to do well doing so.

If an OGH holder with a seven digit certification number gets reholdered, a zero is added to the certification number to bring it to eight digits. Been there, done that.
Thanks, I didn't know that.

I have only sold 10 on ebay coins in my entire life. The 1921 I sold yesterday was the only 1921 proof like coin I have ever seen or owned in my life , because they are so rare. You are a slanderous liar and I don't appreciate these accusations. Get a life.
Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.
I did get a response this morning.

Very telling that his response completely excluded a response to your question as to why his pix didn't match the HA auction picture. He was caught, didn't respond to the question, just resorted to name-calling. Why didn't he respond to your question? Probably because there is no response he could come up with that makes his case.
Also, when PCGS changed to the new holder, they dropped the initial "0" from the first part of the cert number. With that holder, the cert should start with 7297.63 and NOT 07297.63.

Still waiting to read about PCGS coming down on someone for selling fake slabs. Without a seller getting their clock cleaned, there's really no apparent downside to trying to rip people off like this.
the info is out there. came across a little a while back. didn't search too much.
