<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheNickelGuy, post: 21397240, member: 20201&quot;]I am just trying to say, it would be nice with all the fakes out there that are certified, it would be great if one could look up the coin on the grading company site and visually compare the coin to a suspect offering on the secondary market.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>ArizonaRareCoins</b> on another forum pointed this out and deserves credit so I mention for pictures used here.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1542751[/ATTACH] </p><p>A 1902 S $20 Gold Coin</p><p>Fake coin in a fake PCGS holder on left and the genuine in a genuine holder on right. </p><p><br /></p><p><i>BUT</i> I am having trouble with the PCGS lookup finding the coin picture with Cert number 9042.62/<b>82231429</b> ??? It would be great if ALL certified coins had an image on the cert page anyway. This one did not have a picture paid for by the submitter.</p><p><a href="https://www.pcgs.com/cert/82231429" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.pcgs.com/cert/82231429" rel="nofollow">https://www.pcgs.com/cert/82231429</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I guess a solution to the issue at hand would be to only buy coins that are certified, have an image on the grading company website that matches the offering and be safe.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
