<p>[QUOTE="mstng02gt, post: 1246640, member: 15174"]I strongly believe this coin is not genuine (almost guarantee it isn't). Even if genuine though it still falls into the not as described category. Any product altered in such a way to give something value, where none exists should easily be justifiable as a not as described item. Paypal/Ebay will not even take a chance there. 99% of the time they would force the seller to return the item and let them sort it out. Then 1% chance paypal will make you prove it not to be genuine. I think that would be pretty easy to get something from anacs stating that fact. It will never come to that though.</p><p><br /></p><p>The coins pictured in the slabs I posted there are horrible fakes. I think each of them could be spotted in a second. The thing that scares me though is the VERY genuine looking slabs. If they used genuine coins then you would get into the SCARY zone. If there is any doubt about the authenticity of the slab it is usually solved by looking at the coin to see if it meets the grade. If an MS64 RED indian were put into a fake PCGS MS66RD holder it would probably fool 90% of the world.</p><p><br /></p><p>I will note too that at the time I received that email I forwarded it to PCGS. They clearly took no action, and sent me no reply. The fact that they clearly know this is going on, but do not want to put any effort into anti counterfeiting measures is the most disturbing thing of all!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Ya you got it right <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> This coin appears fake. I just can't be 100% sure without opening the slab. If this coin is genuine it would have a ton of errors in it. Unlikely![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
