<p>[QUOTE="Arcane76, post: 4870461, member: 113565"]Thank you everyone for your replies!</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=22377]@ddddd[/USER]: I wish they(pcgs) paid more attention to things like typos. Because, in my opinion, then I feel what level of scrutiny do they apply to coins? Also thank you for the link regarding pcgs grading other shekels as well. I didn’t notice the difference in cert number, thank you for pointing that out! Likewise you helped me understand the pcgs site/links and care needed about mistakes on their part. Thanks!!</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=110226]@robinjojo[/USER] : I wasn’t sure on if the pcgs holder and coin was counterfeit. I have heard that the counterfeiters are getting to where they use real barcodes and numbers that when scanned take you to “the correct coin” but the whole thing maybe fake. Although I suspect it would be higher value coins but who knows.. I am happy with the coin. It may not be(ok isn’t) as attractive as others but it was cheaper which allows me to have one as a type coin and then I can afford other coins. To me a good thing lol.</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=111387]@Herodotus[/USER] : I wish they had photographs that I could see, but as you said they don’t. I appreciate the work you did looking into it!! Thank you!</p><p>I have been had once before with a forgery. It was the correct metal(silver) but was in fact fake. At least I recouped the silver value. Also I hate slabs, but it was good enough price. Anyways it’s getting broken out soon enough! </p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=101506]@dbc99[/USER] : thanks! As I said above I didn’t notice it was a catch all number but with different cert numbers. Thank you for the input.</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=104741]@Ignoramus Maximus[/USER] : thank you! I didn’t see the difference in cert numbers. I tend unfortunately though to be suspicious a lot.</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=58462]@Nemo[/USER] : Thank you! You gave me a lot of detail!

I’m a noob but I felt welcome right away and can ask questions without feeling like I’m getting blasted for it. Also the wealth of information you have and are willing to share is so appreciated!
