<p>[QUOTE="wxcoin, post: 7404530, member: 74624"]I had a recent experience when I bid on a common IHC in a PCGS holder on Ebay. After making my bid a few red flags popped up. The first was that the coin photos weren't the best and I had a hard time justifying it as a MS64 as indicated on the label. I checked the PCGS database and the cert number matched but something seemed wrong with the holder, at least in my eye. After winning the auction I messaged the seller that something looked wrong with the holder and I questioned whether it was fake. The seller didn't hold me to my winning bid and told me that he took the coin to his local LCS and his dealer friend said that it looked legit and he bought it for my winning bid. Whether that was true or not I don't know but at least I didn't have to deal with getting the coin in hand and deal with the possibility of it being fake.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
