<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mirage55, post: 1997592, member: 72426&quot;]Hello. I just wanted to let you and your readers know that I bought a 1909-S VDB on EBAY, PCGS slabbed, for approx. $2K. IT WAS FAKE. If it hadn&#039;t been for an unknown angel who viewed the auction and sending me an email saying that the coin I just purchased was a fake I&#039;d never have been the wiser. Thank God for good people! I noticed the people in forum saying if it&#039;s not slabbed don&#039;t buy it and all slabbed are real. Well, I can truthfully say that they should rethink this notion. After his email I took the coin to a respected dealer (Sahara Coins in Las Vegas) and he came back after looking at it and said &quot; How much did you pay for this coin? I told him and he said &quot;I&#039;m sorry to tell you this but this is a fake&quot;. I couldn&#039;t believe it. The slab looked real complete with a coin reg. number and PCGS look changing sticker. I had to go to Ebay and tell them the whole story. I sent the seller an email and voiced my feelings and intentions. He said he didn&#039;t know it was a fake but that&#039;s debatable. When he saw the dark consequences he sent me a check when I sent him the coin. I should have destroyed it but I might not have gotten my money back. Please tell your readers of this matter to educate and caution that NOT ALL slabbed coins are real. I tried to get back to that forum but was unable to. That is why I signed up for your page and was my only reason for doing so because I don&#039;t usually get into this blog stuff.I just felt compelled to let your readers know in the same way that unknown man did by letting me know and not lose 2K. I guess Ronald Reagan had it right when he said &quot;Trust.....yet verify&quot; Good luck and good buying to you all[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
