At that point, it doesn&#039;t matter that the original slab is untampered.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, if you scan an MS65 Saint slab&#039;s code and PCGS says it corresponds to an MS65 Saint, you might be holding:</p><p><br /></p><p>1) The original coin as originally slabbed by PCGS</p><p>2) An MS64 or AU58 or Details coin in a fake slab</p><p>3) A gold-plated counterfeit in a fake slab</p><p><br /></p><p>Today, almost always, especially if you&#039;re buying from a legit dealer, it&#039;ll be (1). If you&#039;re buying from eBay seller coolcions233_0, feedback 0, in Indonesia, I&#039;d place my bets on (3).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
