  I think that is their new green eco-slab.

  You expected them to encapsulate a counterf. . . er, uh imitation ? The GAO claimer at the bottom of that label is likely generic, especially for returns that have PVC contamination or other surface contamination that they won't try to remove (think dental wax, AKA "putty").
  
  
  
  Do you have a copy of this ? It has saved my bacon many times.

  I'm pretty sure I posted this one when I bought it but I can't find the thread. I've always been fascinated by the middle-east counterfeits of the 1970s(?). I paid just a little over melt for her, and she's part of my bullion holdings rather than my coin collection. So I'm actually cool with it. In fact, I think it's pretty nifty.

  Those raised line tooling marks on the throat between the hair lock tail and the bonnet feather are a red flag (OK, card).
  
  
  
  As well as the FUBAR obverse stars.

  You paid a bit over gold melt or silver melt?......
