    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.
