Well, I guess it just goes to show. One never knows until they find out first hand. After a much waited reply to this I got the responce to the email I sent to the BHCC. Say and think what you will.
Thank you for your email. Members Buddy Ebsen and Terry Farmer, among others, reported seeing a few slabs at the Long Beach Coin Show sometime in the 1990s that were either said to have been counterfeit and/or carefully reopened "using perhaps a lazer" and then resealed with an inferior coin. Since then, many more have come to light at several other shows. It is true that anyone can post on Wikipedia, and if contrary evidence or proof is found, people can post a rebuttal to what is posted. We have no reason to doubt these members as they owned many PCGS and NGC coins themselves, later auctioned by Supeior and the Goldbergs, and it doesn't seem they would have any financial interest nor other gain in stating the fact that some a few suspected counterfeit slabs had been seen.
Thank you,
