Thanks Hemi, Not sure what I was doing wrong, most of the time I don't have a problem copying photos.
Where's the puke thingy???
oh here it is:
This one?
Nothing like passing off a $50 coin for a $1750 coin... grrrr....

How did you come up with $50 for the coin? It’s a counterfeit.

I think the fake slabbed coins cost around that much on the Chinese site.
Someone is the proud owner of a $1275 counterfeit.
I have a feeling that the winning bidder isn’t proud and won’t be taken.😉

If that is the case the winning bidder gets the "nice guy of the day award" and a big pat on the back.
I figured $50 to buy the fake and put it in a fake slab with a correct cert number... PCGS Price Guide website has $1750 on a 61.

More garbage....listing gone... I guess it was pulled....Thanks for the picture. Cheers, RickO
Good work. Wonder if that was bought by the guy in MN they jailed for Fake slabbing. Greatful for collectors like you who peg these and alert us all. We all appreciate your steadfast work in this.
Best place to buy !

It wasn't pulled - it shows as a completed sale, though the seller cancelled the transaction after the winning bidder messaged him that the coin and holder were counterfeit.

@MFeld ....Thank you Sir..... Cheers, RickO
This is amazing.....the buyer has left negative feedback stating the coin and holder are counterfeit.......the seller, baernorma, refuses to believe this fact and still says it's real. lol
Here are photos of the real slab.
Nice catch! I was looking for the real photos of slab but gave up after about a 1/2 hour search. Thanks @ifthevamzarockin ,and @MFeld for efforts to identify, and prevent a counterfeit into a collection.
Good work to all involved!
