<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 279495, member: 4552&quot;]I have mentioned this before. At a coin show a dealer I know pretty well showed me a slab and asked me if it looked tampered with. I examined the slab and could not see any way it was tampered with. However, the coin inside did not match the grade and was not even the same denomination as stated on the slab. He did it as a joke but it sure made me wonder about any slabbed coins. He also pointed out about the many fake well known TPG slabbs being counterfeited lately but said look at this. He then showed me a slabbed coin with a grading service I never heard of. Thought is was just a new one. He said, no it is just one more thing to watch out for. The counterfeiters know many buy slabs and have no idea about how many companies do that work. </p><p>So you could have a slab tampered with, a slab with a top grading service faked, a fake grading service, a fake coin in a fake slab. </p><p>HMMMMM. So now we must become plastic experts.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
