It seems they will not removed this seller. These coins are shipped from China but the listed location is in the US.

Maybe they’ve lost some key personnel and don’t trust those left to do a credible job anymore. Maybe their own ranks have been infiltrated…

Certainly we in the U.K. are also seeing increased quantities of fakes which are generally believed to originate from China.
Most are low quality, and very unconvincing.
We have created a set of photos on Flickr especially for fakes, mainly to help educate and inform people how they look and how to avoid them:

This set also includes an 1804 Silver Dollar, mentioned in the article:

We are continuing to add to this set, and also to add links to genuine coins to compare.
We currently have over 10,000 coin photos of our Flickr photostream.

PCGS is appealing to the wrong group. Expanding an existing law which isn’t being enforced isn’t going to make any difference either. And if the allegations are true (and all this article is is rhetoric, no proof) then it’s the State Department that should be talking to China, not Congress expanding a law.

Congress can’t even be bothered with counterfeit citizens so why should they care about counterfeit coins?
