Last month, kryptonitecomics listed a beautiful PCI toned Franklin. It went for $457 and I figured it would be cracked out and sent to our host or NGC.

I was looking to see where this went, and lo and behold, it's on Amazon. Oh, and for $9k.

What do you think of the new "attribution", "error" and grade?

Not really looking for much these days but if I were, it might be a toner.

They can price it however they want, but it looks to me like the original PCI slab had been heated with the coin in the holder.
Had not heard of that trick, but by George, (or Tom), I believe you are right!

Yup the yellow label is kinda telling.
I didn't know until recently that it was possible to AT a coin in a slab simply by heating it up. I guess I always assumed that the plastic of the slab would deform first. (Or, here, the label looks toasted.)
Has PCGS or anyone else considered adding tamper-evident features to reveal this kind of fraud? Or is this kind of doctoring considered too obvious to bother addressing?

Any help locating any of these OBW rolls would be gratefully appreciated!
