This service is mandatory for coins valued over $2,500 but an optional $5 fee for lesser value coins. Unless the genuine coin had been submitted for gold shield service previously, the imitation would not be caught. I'm not sure that PCGS carefully checks all matches ... most matches would be the genuine coin showing up again.
