Counterfeiter Reveals Fake PCGS Slab Diagnostics - photo of Susan Headley Susan’s Coins Blog
Nov 19
Early in 2008, the coin collecting marketplace was hit with a series of fake grading service holders, or slabs. The first to be hit was NGC, when counterfeit NGC holders showed up at coin shows and online. Rumors were rampant about fake ANACS and ICG slabs, although I never saw any concrete proof that large numbers of them had emerged recently. Then in March, the other big grading service got hit hard; PCGS fakes were coming out of China, with counterfeit coins in them, and these slabs were reputed to be so dangerous that they could fool the experts.
