Fake spotted on ebay? Not sure

Just took a 2nd look at it, have you seen the BACK of the label? This is probably one of the worst fakes I’ve seen. I’m almost mad now I can’t use a laughing emoji here

I’m on a warpath today. It’s my Friday, the caffeine is rushing through me, and I’m getting up early to go fishing tomorrow.

 

LOL no I didn't really originally pay much attention to the back, but I just now checked it out. That's hilarious!

 

Yeah, there's like only maybe 2 times I reported a scam to ebay where they bothered to take action, so I don't worry with it anymore. Would just hate for someone to find out they got taken big time and give up on the hobby.

 

Are there really any people who would buy a 5 figure coin from a listing with questionable photos from a low feedback seller? I could see suckers biting if it had an asking price of a couple hundred bucks, but not $44K. That still doesn’t make it right.

 

I genuinely hope not, but there’s also a reason they put “do not ingest” on TidePods so it’s anybody’s guess

 

The font is wrong on the slab label. It’s bogus, no doubt. It has still not been taken down.

 

Not to mention the rear label just looking like a piece of aluminum foil

 

That back label tells me it is one of the early fake PCGS slabs. The early ones had a very poor "printed on" back labels that scratched up like that with even very gentle abrasion. Kind of like the material they use on scratch off lottery tickets, but a little weaker.

 

It reminds me of the fake holographic pokemon/yugioh cards. When they started peeling, you could see the whole thing was just a really thin sticker slapped onto a piece of blank cardboard. Some of them were passed off really well up until that point, I remember coming across that a lot even as a kid.

 

Can't help noticing all the feedback the seller has are as a buyer, not as a seller. So it may as well be a 0 rather than a 4.

 

I have run out of options reporting this one to the Bay...

 

I don't even try anymore. Hate the thought of someone getting ripped off because ebay doesn't take action.

 

Reported

 

Almost funny; eBay finally responded to my fertilizer report...

 

LOL. Happy to see this as a $20,000 win.
