<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 755139, member: 4552"]First of all <b><i><u>WELCOME TO THE FORUM</u></i></b>. </p><p>Not many say that anymore. As to the security of any slabs. China is now known to not only make faked coins but are putting many in faked, copied slabs also. You would have to verify with PCGS or whoever a slab is tagged by to see if it is real nowadays. Faked coins and slabs are appearing in many places and unfortuately many people that think their coins are for real have those faked ones just sitting in thier collections. With yours you may want to contact PCGS and ask about those. </p><p>At a coin show some time ago a dealer I see there are lot showed me a slab. It was for a coin graded as MS something but I now forgot the exact number. It reall didn't matter though since the coin inside was the wrong denomination, wrong date and no where near MS anything. He did that to show people it can be done. So just be carefull out there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
