    At some point, the endless flood of fakes from Asia becomes a tad dispiriting. A friend told me that this is why you should only purchase examples certified by the top-tier TPGs. He hadn't heard of fake slabs.

    I said the one on the far left. I guess I was right! I am getting good at this.

    Amen Bob,

    I guessed the first on one the left as well. It's just another example of how much I really don't know. I do know that the advice to only buy slabbed/certified coins from a reputable TPG company is wise advice.
