I spy a fake!

So I was looking at this coin, and went to check its PCGS Verification

The PCGS Certification Number: 08506461 (Double check for yourself)

How do I report?

I checked it out and it said the cert number wasn't available at this time. That has happened before with PCGS graded coins, but that doesn't mean they are fake.
I have seen the "Carson City Collection" on the bottom of the label once before, so I think that might be real as well.
I don't think you have spotted a fake.

 

Agreed - the coin looks genuine and the assigned grade, realistic.

 

Okay, thanks now I might bid.. never knew of a cert not showing up

 

If you bid and win the coin and Travis and I were wrong, he will reimburse you for any loss you suffer. :mouth:

 

Yes, and Mark will even send the hat that I was going to send to him... :mouth:

 

haha thanks! lol max bid guys?

 

Sorry, I don't advocate bidding in auctions, sight-unseen, so in good conscience, can't recommend a bid. I hope that doesn't sound mean.

 

A similar coin from the same collection was sold by Heritage for $632.50 including the juice http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=1127&Lot_No=8372#photo
