Here is the TruView. Also, the real coin just sold for $48,000.

When even I can tell that the face doesn't match, it's a bad counterfeit! (I don't do faces...)

Edit: The link took me to something different -- double-check the number?

 

Whoops my bad. Fixed now.

 

Tried to report it, but looks like it already sold.

 

Yes, but only with that copy did someone get a flowing and expressive handlebar mustache...

 

From $48,000 in May to $210 in August ... talk about a volatile market!

 

Seriously though, it never ceases to amaze me how foolish some coin buyers are. It takes all of a couple of minutes to pull up the PCGS site and plug in the cert number to learn that something isn't right.

 

I did report it but apparently it didn't matter.

 

That’s assuming they aren’t aware. It could easily be some dealer that’s planning on selling it in their shop or at some small local show. There’s also the chance that someone bought it and never paid so someone else wouldn’t buy it
