The counterfeiting of slabs is getting ridiculous

My next project is looking for an uncirculated 1902-S Morgan. I've found two counterfeits in just one day of looking. The coin in this holder looks strange to begin with. When you can't trust a graded slab, it's really sickening. The first key was no hologram in the right hand lower corner. Then I crossed the cert to PCGS and it's no way the same coin, in fact the real one is Gold Shield Service. This one is not. I'm going to send the seller a message, I'll bet they are not even aware.

I've looked at his other items, they look legit. Seller has no reported issues, and has quite a few nice graded coins.

 

It really is scary that slabs are being counterfeited. Hard to trust anything anymore.

Well I'll be damned. Listing was to run another week, I went back to look again and seller had cancelled listing. I'll bet he is NOT happy with someone in his shop. (or kicking himself). One small win!
