    I am not sure could be just the angle not showing them.

    Not that it guarantees anything the cert number does check out.

    The coin in the slab does not appear to match the grade. It's not clear enough for me
    to determine if the coin is a fake. That coin appears no better an a 35. So, maybe yes
    and maybe no?

    Why do you think it might be fake? Seller has lots of nearly-perfect feedback, says coin was just certified this week, nothing obvious screams fake. He would be foolish to make this up and get caught.

    My guess is it's legit.

    edited to add: I admit the look is very Chinese. Can't make out enough of the holder to say one way or the other.

    did you check heritage yet?

    also, I'd call cust. service and ask them to look at the barcode.

    It's one of the new slabs which have 6 injection circles. I played with the lighting and levels in Photoshop and can see two of them clearly (the middle ones on either side). I can see the two bottom ones when looking at the reverse, but they are very near invisible. I can't see either of the upper ones, but the photo angle may have made them invisible.

    I have bought from this seller in the past. A really nice PCGS 89-CC for a fair price. As I recall, he is ex-military Air Force. No probs with the transaction or coin/slab.

    Boom...we win.
