THAT is the entire problem because all anybody has to go by is the certification check. If the serial number on the fake slab matches, and the date, mint mark, and grade on the fake slab all match what is listed in the TPG database for the genuine coin, then most people are going to accept that the fake is indeed genuine.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
