    If it is real, I can't afford it, but it's hard to tell. It looks like the slab is in a plastic sleeve.

    At a minimum. A real hen's tooth there.

    I have a couple clues, that it's not real. One is the price, the second, even with the blurry screen shots, an informed collector should be able to spot it.

    If the holder is real, What's it worth?

    If it was real I'd say about $12,500+/-.

    I can't see the 3 points I look for with the 93-S, so I can't say one way or another as to authenticity. Any better pics?

    The cert number checks out, but this looks completely fake to me. An ali coin.

    Really looks fake to me. The clean center surface but bits of tarnishing under the crevices may show its clean. Remember people do and can fake PCGS holders.

    Easy clue. The "1" should be centered over a denticle.

    Why is that "easy?" Not everyone here has the ability to capture and enlarge an image 400% in postprocessing. Your second set of images make it obvious, of course.

    @Hommer, have you informed the seller? Inquiring minds want to know.

    i saw the same photos everyone else did. i couldn't download them on my computer but was able to screenshot them and then crop out the photo from the page. today i logged on to the site with my cell phone and was able to copy them and enlarge them. something that i wasn't able to do with my laptop.

    At least the seller is honest, but I would bet that most of their clients would not be.
