The cert number checks out although I'll be the first to confess I know nothing about this Chinese coin. What are you seeing that makes you feel it's a fake so we can all understand?
Before you buy any PCGS slabbed coin I would advise you to check this site. Just put the slab number into the search box. This coin comes up as a fake. bob Flicker link

The problem is that some people might buy them from China and resell them here without telling the coins are fake coins. Yes, Experience collectors can tell they are fake coins but not new buyers want to get into the coin market.

It's easy to get real cert numbers off eBay and other auction sites. They know people are checking their fake slabs so they take the added effort use real cert numbers.

I guess this is taking the copy coin hole filler scenario to another level. Now you can have "hole" fillers for your PCGS slab collection.
