[QUOTE="GoldFinger1969, post: 4153591, member: 73489"]Now THAT is scary....so you punch up a cert number or use the smarpthone apps....it comes up with a gold coin that looks like what you have, but you don't inspect close enough and it is actually a fake. Just so my head is straight....it's a fake coin, a bad copy of a Reverse Proof that is a legit coin in a legit slab ? What I'm confused on is if there is a 2nd slab with the same certification number.....there's a good slab (with good coin) and a bad slab (with who knows what inside)....so what does NGC do when you punch it up ? Say it could be the real one or the counterfeit ? It appears from your post that it just says POSSIBLE counterfeit which is confusing. It should say something like WARNING: LEGITIMATE AND FRAUDULENT SLAB POSSIBLE.[/QUOTE]
