[QUOTE="SteveCaruso, post: 2099503, member: 37497"]A counterfeit slab with an edge-view gasket?[I][B] That's new. [/B][/I]And it shouldn't be surprising as it's the next logical step for counterfeiters. The coin is certainly counterfeit, too. It's a "spitting liberty" (note the lump by Liberty's mouth) and the mint mark is [I]completely[/I] wrong. This coin is also in violation of the Hobby Protection Act as amended by the Collectible Coin Protection Act as it is certainly of new manufacture, and as such needs to be marked with "COPY" per FTC specifications. Now, the most common fake PCGS slabs use the smooth gaskets so this would be, to me, a discovery piece as far as the holder goes. [B]May I take these images and make a profile for it up on [URL='http://www.theblackcabinet.org']The Black Cabinet[/URL]? Word needs to get out about this.[/B][/QUOTE]
