Check out this fake 1881 proof Trade $ in a Pcgs holder. Not sure if the coin was switched out or the holder is fake as well. I did report this as a fake to EBay. The cert. # does check out.

    I don't think T.DAve would be fooled by a shabby fake like that. PR63,LOL! There is an aspect of the blue inserts that the forgers never get right (to my knowledge) that is evident here (which I won't mention publicly). I don't know much about fake slabs so can't comment on the diagnostics for those.

    The thread title is misleading - it should note that it's a fake coin in a fake holder.

    It's the Fake holder that worries me the most. Those idiots ( makers of fake slabs ) have NO ethics, morals or common sense.

    This is why a greenhorn like myself in numis stays worried and almost just want to not even worry about collecting pieces. But I have such a passion for it.

    The coin is obvious, but the holder is a bigger concern for me. So I was happy to see the real one for comparison:
