    Maybe contact PCGS to see what they may know.

    The slab and the coin are both fakes. There really shouldn’t be any doubt, even for novices.

    Let’s see what is wrong with this:

    1. MS 612+
    2. Grade is off-center
    3. Coin is a dollar, not a half
    4. Spaghetti hair
    5. The rims are obviously struck in a collar
    6. No embossed PCGS logo
    7. Coin does not match TrueView image

    I vote "fake." Curly Howard (The Three Stooges) died many years ago.

    The color looks too vivid, and the hair does not look consistent from what I've seen.

    8. Serial number grade doesn't match nonsensical grade, but...
    9. It's equally as nonsensical, because there's no such thing as MS60+

    Seeing if the bar code matches the numbers above it is left as an exercise to the ambitious.

    I get the local pop up alerts that someone added new coin listings. This one made me laugh. I didn't have time to thoroughly look it over.
    I only saw the 612+ and then the 60+.
    I believe someone will be fooled, and the sucks. This platform doesn't allow you to report them for selling fakes. I have tried before with no success.
