Getting hard to keep up; 1st I have seen of this one. Also a new seller on my list B) ...

Reverse also looks different from ones we have documented; circled area may be one to look out for in the future:

    That coin isn't even a decent looking replica. :D

    Their quality control is going down hill.

    I could jab a pencil in each eye and still be able to see that's a counterfeit. :D

    Do they really need to make an effort when gullible “investors” get into the coin market for “quick profits?” These people are only one step above the unfortunate people who are buying fake silver dollars at flea markets. They are “most sophisticated” because they are buying “certified coins in certification holders.”

    Wow, they (the 93S examples) all look undergraded too.
    I wonder if that’s just part of the ploy to catch bargain hunters, or just another part of the poor quality control already noted?

    Note there is no embossed PCGS logo in the lower right corner of the holder. That's the first giveaway before even looking at the coin.

    A number of slab/ label/ cert blunders! I actually just recently did a Coin Q&A podcast on the "Morgan" Morgan not PCGS counterfeits.
