Just received David Hall's email

So I thought I'd look to see what, if any, PCGS-looking "coins" I could buy from China. Within 2 min I found this. Turns out not only can I buy them directly from China in a so-called PCGS holder, they're even using Barry Stuppler's photographs!

That's just wrong on so many levels....

    The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

    Very scary. I wonder if you asked for a 1893-S whether they would quote.

    Yes, they would, but remember that is a photo of a real MS65, the fake you would receive would look like a fake-------------BigE

    those who use common sense when buying do not need to worry about junk like that,
    common sense tells me stuppler does not have a web site called trade tang-people need to educate themselves
    and use common sense, let the big boys put the money out, and police the problems.

    educate yourselves, I cannot stress that more than I have. common sense plays a big part.

    see a coin you know is a big dollar item selling for chump change-COMMON SENSE

    its hard enough for the little guy to even afford to collect nowdays, we do not need to give money
    to some clown over seas with nothing better to do than rob ya.

    EDUCATION+COMMON SENSE=cannot go wrong

    The inflatable sexy dolls look counterfeit too. Good thing we have sharp eyes.
