  There was an article from PCGS that pointed out various differences between their slabs and fakes. The number matches a known one, I don't "THINK' (IMHO), that is one of the Points of detecting or indicating a fake. You might do a search of the archives.

  The Chinese counterfeiters use legitimate numbers frequently on fake slabs with fake coins. Finding the 'correct' coin with a 'correct' number is no guarantee of genuineness.
  
  These typefaces don't look quite 'right' - but perhaps I just need more coffee.
  
  Be cautious, buy certified coins from a trusted US seller. I may be flamed for this, but NEVER buy anything from a Chinese, Hong Kong, etc. on eBay unless YOU are a REAL expert in what you are buying and are CERTAIN the item is genuine, and even then, how can you guarantee you will get the item that is pictured? Why take the risk?
