I would hope PCGS can get this listing removed!

That can't happen. It's a Chinese company/web site.

 

I just emailed the link to PCGS. Hopefully they can do something about it.

 

Comes with the anti-counterfeiting label

 

Yeah the used to also carry all kinds of counterfeit coins. I actually reported the site to PCGS, but never heard back that I recall.

 

Pcgs probably has them made in China, so they are probably not counterfeit. They are probably real pcgs slabs.

 

Thanks for the post.

 

Is that why David Hall has been traveling to China then?

 

Those are not genuine PCGS holders, those are the Professional Chinese Grading Service holders.

 

Perhaps

 

It's part of Alibaba, who just filed for a $1B IPO. Doubt they will take it down.

I actually messaged those sellers and asked if they could make custom slabs for my personal collection, but they couldn't.

 

hopefully PCGS has notified the US Customs Service to seize any shipments to the US as I suspect if violated a number of US & foreign copyright/trademark laws

 

Would love if that happened but I wouldn't suggest holding your breath waiting for it...

 

Thanks for posting this. Wow...only a matter of time before this becomes so widespread that TPGs become obsolete and all coins are released from their tombs...lol

 

If you click on the link for the store, you'll notice some TOTALLY AUTHENTIC Standing Liberty Quarters for sale (and other coins)!

 

Oooh - I could use some..

I suppose it would be TOTALLY LEGAL to buy some and resell them at a Coin Show too?

 

I wish it were true that I cannot think of anyone I know who would be likely to try something like that.

 

One of those fakes just hit eBay I think:

I think you are correct.
