[QUOTE="Dima, post: 4360589, member: 18037"]Pretty great post. I've skimmed the pages and saw a few images highlighting side-by-side comparisons of fake and real holders. Is there a single site/source for a comprehensive gallery to review? I tend to buy many of my coins in PCGS holders from eBay. What is the risk associated with "trusted" vendors? (Ie. AMPEX, L&C Coins, David Lawrence, etc.) I don't mean to suggest these folks would knowingly sell counterfeits or fake slabs; more so wondering if some of these vendors have added authenticity verification? Edit - I only buy from US vendors with reputable feedback. Just wanted to throw it out there :) Edit 2 - Well, this thread sufficiently scared me. Aside from the coins I sent in myself, now I believe all my slabs are altered and contain counterfeit coins.[/QUOTE]
