    This is the coin that comes up on PCGS. Uuummm.... Not the same by a longshot.

    Here are the photos. The coin is bogus, and the color on the fake slab label is wrong.

    Here is the message from the seller. Rest assured since he is a "psychology doctor" whatever that is. "Buyers always bid!" Now there is a truism you can take to the bank! You certainly can't take this thing if you would like to redeem it for $1.

    See photos. Fantastic AU50 coin certified and slabbed by PCGS. I'm kind of new to coins, but I used to buy and sell watches on eBay and have a perfect 100% buyer satisfaction over hundreds of transactions. I'm a psychology doctor in the Palm Beaches in South Florida. l wasn't sure how to best price this, but in the past a no Reserve auction starting at a low price worked best at getting lots of views. It might be risky as this is a valuable coin, but buyers always bid!

    I just messaged this doctor and told him that this was a bogus coin.

    Any one referring to himself as a "psychology doctor," rather than a psychologist, tells me something smells bad from the get go.

    The fellow responded to me and was actually quite congenial. Said he appreciated it and was taking his listing down.

    The indents to hold the coin look bizarre.

    Vertigo Did someone say bust?

    I'm pretty sure they're like the ones in this picture. These are Chinese knock offs. I doubt his slab opens like these do. But the holder ring part looks the same

    And of course where the label colors fade is off
