Here is an example of who you should keep your eyes open.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a counterfeit 1881 Trade Dollar in a fake PCGS holder.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]957682[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]957683[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>And here is the real coin. The crooks stole the serial number from this slab to make their counterfeit. Looking up the slab serial number on the PCGS site and matching just the number is not enough. Not all PCGS coins are photographed so that you can match them. You also have to be able to spot the fake coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]957684[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
