<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 920459, member: 66"]I agree the number fonts aren'tquite right, but this is a much better fake than usually seen.

I just hope they o a better job of it than NGC did. Don't bother with a scan of the whole slab, the written text can confirm what is supposed to be in the slab. You need a GOOD enlargable picure of the COIN that is supposed to be in the slab so you can make sure it matches the coin in the slab you are looking at. A scan of the whole slab that lets you see the label information but not the fine details of the actual coin they slabbed is usually worthless.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
