The slabs aren't fake just photoshopped. if the chinese fakers start making authentic looking slabs they could seriously cause a lot of problems in the coin buisness. The fake ICG type shells that the Merrick Mint was originaly slabbing their coins in were made in China. They didn't last long after I let ICG know about it. Merric Mints slabs now use one of the fake ICG reverse shells, and a new rectangular front slabshell. They are interesting. They still resemle th ICG slabs at first glance but when you pick them up the are rectangle and ou finges don't drop into the side indentations.
