<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 24883021, member: 101855&quot;]Here is the handout I gave at the end of the presentation. Here are the important points:</p><ul> <li>Go to the certification verification pages at PCGS and NGC.</li> <li>Enter the serial number on the slab. </li> <li>If the response comes back &quot;invalid serial number,&quot; there is probably a problem. There is an outside chance that the slab label has a mechanical error, but that is very unusual. </li> <li>If you get a response PCGS and NGC verification responses will have pictures of the coin or the slab for newer slabs.</li> <li>If there are no pictures, PCGS might have one or more citations where the item has been sold in a major auction. The auction site will have pictures.</li> <li>If the item in the slab does not match the picture, it is probably a counterfeit.</li> <li>If you get no pictures or auction responses, you can got to PCGS Coin Facts to compare the item with pictures of genuine coins. This is not as good as getting a pictures of the actual coin in the slab.</li> <li>Jack D. Young has posted many pictures of counterfeits with tips on how to spot them under his name in the “CoinWeek” site. You may got there to sharper your eye for spotting counterfeits.</li> </ul><p>[ATTACH=full]1597840[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1597841[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
