[QUOTE="Insider, post: 4906469, member: 24314"]Yes it will; however, IMHO this type of problem will never go away. That's because many of the people buying these obvious concoctions don't know what a genuine coin looks like, are dealing with an online image, have no clue how to verify a slab, etc. Let me play counterfeiter to get around what PCGS will do in the future... Using the fake above with a True View image. I've already made the fake coin in the fake slab. Now I put the coin on EBAY with a photoshop image of the true view coin in the Ebay sale. Coin sells and as long as the coin has no outstanding traits, 60% of the buyers who get it will not realize it is not the same PCGS coin in the TV and 40% of them will not know it is a fake. Ebay is the solution and I'm going to guess they like the way things are. After all, the coin is in a slab so it must be OK to sell. ;)[/QUOTE]
