Uhhh...before I cry wolf to e-bay is there any chance at all this is a legitimate PCGS holder? (note the PCGS logo embossed on the lower right corner of the slab) http://www.ebay.com/itm/1884-CC-Car...BU-UNC-PCGS-/281696326116?hash=item419668d1e4 It appears the original label was removed from a PCGS holder and replaced with something cooked up in Microsoft Word and printed out on a home ink jet.
It's a real PCGS slab, but cracked open and refilled. A very poor attempt to bamboozle, but someone will bite!
Are we sure it is not some kind of sample slab? I have seen ungraded coins before like that in holders.
Alrighty, no crying wolf for me today Thanks for educating me WCoins. Too bad, that label looks terrible.
When I go to the link, I find another forum where someone says that it is a super-bulk submission, but the only image I see looks like the same one from e-bay. Are there any others?
The coin on that forum is another date, not the same coin. Here's one more - same date but not same coin http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/1884-pcgs-american-classic-bu-morgan-455826743 Why would someone take the time to crack a slab and insert an ugly worthless label? Someone faking these would put a MS65 label or something like that.
Not doubting your word, it's just that so few people admitted to ever seeing such a thing. Also, it almost looks like the weird label was just stuck on. Makes me want to peel it off and see what is underneath.
It does surprise me this is the first one I am seeing. If it is from a "super bulk" submission, shouldn't they be popping up like needles on a Christmas tree? I won't be buying it regardless but I appreciate the education.
