This one is being discussed in another forum; I have saved the images and the link. Comparison to a documented MS-64 example (image courtesy PCGS): Only full image of the reverse: A couple more images from the listing: Best, Jack.
Lettering on the coin and font on the slab look wrong. Very wrong. Never mind the ridiculous VG-ish details on the reverse, on what is purportedly an "MS64" coin. Fake coin in a fake slab.
I was about to say... Looked nothing like an MS-64 coin. And that label is an atrocity. Something is obviously being hidden on the rim on the reverse outside of the camera shot. Was this guy even trying?
Fun fact - if you scan the QR code on the back, it pulls up the cert verification on the Chinese PCGS website.....
Given that I don't read Chinese, I'm not sure. It looked like the PCGS site, but everything was in Chinese characters. My phone didn't flag it as an obvious malware site, however.
When I read it with an on-line service it went to the correct PCGS site: But if you just go to the read site without the cert number you do go to:
Aside from the obviously fake label and fake coin and the QR scanning stuff, the cert# embedded in the barcode pulls up a Chinese coin. I think it's kind of funny. I don't think I'm telling them anything they don't know already, other than now they know that we know.
the coin looks circulated and there appears to be scratches the coin itself seems no where near MS 64 in my mind
Tpgs make mistakes. However this is the type of mistake that gets one fired and blackballed for an abject failure. I agree that it’s a huge fake and anybody bidding or buying is as dumb as a rock
