Hi. I recently stumbled across an ad for some pretty rare coins and bullion, but it all looks a little fishy to say the least. The certification number worked on the $20 piece, but no picture came attached. The seller is asking a crazy low price too, which makes it seem all the more fake. What do you guys think? I'll probably steer clear just to be safe, but I was thinking I should probably try and get a second opinion.
Trust your gut. There is no free lunch in numismatics. I would need larger images, but the one Saint looks funky to me. I wouldn't risk it.
If you have to ask, it's best to pass. You want to buy but something inside is telling you not to. Listen and obey. And welcome to CT.
I can't upload a picture for some reason. The top of the P in PAMP should not touch the curved line on the packaging of a genuine bar.
I see everybody has seemingly missed that there is about an 80-100k coin in the bottom right of that picture....IF it was real....which sadly it is not.
Those PCGS slabs are both fake. I would thus assume the coins in them are also fake. I would thus assume the things being sold with them are also fake. Drop this like a grenade-loaded hot potato.
That's really all you needed to know. The only time something real gets dumped at a blowout price is if it's stolen. Everything else about the fake slabs and what their values would be has already been mentioned
If the coins were real, you would forfeit them to the police with no compensation. If something is too good to be true, etc.
