1/10 Platinum Eagle ms 70 REAL or FAKE

Purchased online. The hologram looks geniune. The slab is a little beat up. And i tried to take pictures of where the slab just looks weird. What are your thoughts?

Purchased online from whom? There's a big difference between having bought it from a random seller on Ebay or a well known retailer.

Most likely its real though, I don't know if the counterfieters have started faking slabbed platinum eagles, there are easier targets out there. (but anything is possible)

 

It was purchased on facebook through a silver club.

 

I see the marks on the edge, of the slab, that you are seeing, but they look okay to me

 

The slab is okay. Those marks are more common on the older versions of the slab.

 

How would i upgrade to a new slab?

 

@Jaredbd , contact NGC and send it in for re-holdering. There are many ways to do it. You can visit a coin show in which NGC is present and submit it that way. You can join the ANA which will give you submission privileges at NGC. Or you can become a member at NGC for a yearly fee and get submission rights that way. I'm not sure if you have to submit a minimum of 5 for the reholder service.

I have about 20 or 30 that I want reholdered. I like the no-line fatties and the current edge views, but I don't like the version in between, so I'll get them put into edge view scratch resistant holders.

 

@Jaredbd , the condition of your NGC holder will not effect its resale value. You don't have to get it reholdered unless your OCD just won't let you keep it the way it is....lol

 

I like pretty things. if it will cost under $20 ill do it. Anything higber doesnt seem worth it.

 

It looks fine, sometimes that happens when they seal the slab.

 

Thanks for the responses.

 

Are these sonically sealed? Maybe a hot spot on the sealer? We used sonic sealers at work to seal thumb grips to syringes.

 

I believe i read that they are.

 

Low mintage's on these birds. I have a 2000 one.
