Where are slabs produced?

Seems like everywhere else on the internet fake slabs are the hot topic. NCG and ANACS at this point. Almost
indistinguishable fakes.
Haven't heard about any fake PCGS slabs.

Which makes me wonder if the people producing the authentic slabs are producing the fakes also? Are the authentic slabs being
produced in China?

    For some of the people on EBAY I think it is their living room.......


    I thought someone her ementioned once that they made them or their company was involved in the process?

    Grown on slab trees. Picked at the peak of freshness.

    it's a trade secret i'm sure, but disclosing the country might not hurt.
    just curious if they're being made over there and the machines are already set to
    make that kind of a mold???

    maybe it wouldn't be too hard to fix even if that was the case.

    there's been quite a few trade problems with China lately, just curious if this might
    be another.

    Anything of value is being reproduced. Pick a field, any field, if it's worth it, they make it. Mike

    no doubt, faking coins and now the slabs is just one area that effects me. the lead paint scare i think
    we missed, the pet food also, the seafood probably below levels that would do damage image

    Prost!

    Why step over the dollar to get to the cent? Because it's a 55DDO.

    Scott Traver's 'Coin Collectors Survival Manual' showed pictures of fake PCGS slabs that were REALLY close to the real deal. I was told that these fakes were made in California

    May be that will explain the milkspotting. Crappy contaminated Chinese plastic.
