[QUOTE="mstng02gt, post: 1245766, member: 15174"]I got my shiny new ANACS MS66 RED 1905 indian cent today. This slab is clearly a poor fake. The listing where I bought it had just one poor pic. I took some close up pics to better show you guys. Just be on the lookout for these there are obviously more then this floating around. Note that a real ANACS has a rubberized insert with A imprinted on the reverse. This one is cheap foam like from a BCW or collector safe like SGS uses. The real anacs has a much deeper recession under the label. The area for the label on a genuine slab is recessed. The reverse has hobby glue that leaked from the joints when the slab was assembled. The reverse label is completely wrong. It has a white boarder, and appears to be done with a home printer. The anacs label is recessed and foil like. Not sure without taking the coin out, but its probably also not genuine (or at least altered). The luster is completely wrong. Shield is popping out bigtime. The wreath is way to close to the shield.
