    Is this ICG slab a counterfeit?
    The obverse and reverse labels looks like photocopies.
    The ICG sticker looks fake.

    It would probably help if we could see the whole slab and the coin too.

    Run the number through ICG data base and see what comes up ?

    Slab counterfeiters use real cert #'s for coins that match up... IE; a fake slab of a '93-S Morgan will have a cert # of a real '93-S.

    They don't have a set registry. Where is the ICG database located?

    Not sure what you see about that that makes you think its fake. Your second pics are too fuzzy to see much, but there is no reason I can think of to go to the effort of counterfeiting a slab for a Con quarter.

    I would have doubted someone would have gone through the trouble of SLABBING a 1999 quarter... but to the original poster, the slab looks like every ICG slab I've dealt with. The stickers all have that strange "fake" look... like someone glued it on to the paper. It's one reason I stopped buying ICG.

    Hey, thanks everybody for your replies! What looked funny to me was the label's newspaper-dot-like graphics. I now know it's OK. I like this forum!
    Thanks again,

    If there is still any question that this coin is genuine here are some pics of one of mine. I actually happened to have a few of these too. It seems at that time ICG was using a lighter color of green labels. Our coins were probably certified in the same batch. Here are some close up pics of mine. Hope this helps!
