<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1323346, member: 66&quot;]Why?&nbsp; The database is almost certainly correct.&nbsp; The problem is the slab in the auction is reported to NOT be the slab in the database.&nbsp; The people who fake these things use real serial numbers and grades from real slabs.&nbsp; So checking them in the PCGS database is worthless.&nbsp; Checking the NGC database can be a little better, if the coin has been slabbed in the last three years or so.&nbsp; Because for these recent slabs they have photos of the slabs linked in the database.&nbsp; If the photo is good enough that you can match up markers on the coin and the photo then you know you are good.&nbsp; If the photos are good and the coin doesn&#039;t match then you know it&#039;s fake.&nbsp; If the photos aren&#039;t good enough to tell for sure then you don&#039;t know anything.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
