<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1576042, member: 26302&quot;]I have to agree with the others. I find it most likely that since this coin sold just a couple of months ago the fake slabbers had easier access to the serial number and knocked off a fake slab. The guy knows it. If he obviously KNOWS the rarity, (hence the asking price), why wouldn&#039;t he KNOW how much its worth, and KNOW there are places coin owners can go to borrow large amounts of money on a coin short notice. Since we know he knows the value, we are assured he knows the rest, so the only reason he is selling cheap is he also KNOWS its a fake.</p><p><br /></p><p>As an aside, I do not think I would wager $7500 that a LCS can always spot a fake slab. You would be taking a huge risk, since if it turned out fake you hadn&#039;t bought from them so they aren&#039;t liable. At least one or two of the latest fake slabs have been in dealer inventories, I think you are overestimating many dealers if you believe all of them could tell a fake slab from a real one. The fakes are getting better, and the huge downside to slabs is if a coin is slabbed its much harder to identify it as a fake. Hence, fake slabs make manufacturers of fake coins life easier.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
