So PCGS is now authenticating & slabbing “contemporary counterfeit” coins!!?? The photo in this article of the counterfeit Mexican gold coin in a PCGS holder is shocking! Once again, the “big boy” coin dealers get special attention to their coins & special labels & even special provenance for their counterfeit coins. Unbelievable!

In reply to Antonio.

You can thank Dwight Manley for selling these “dregs” of the nasty “goo goo muck” ocean bottom for many many years now to get rid of it to those who like cleaned coins, ingots etc. His gold marketing company truly made this seawater trash into treasure for his company by selling to those who don’t understand the oxidation damage done to the surface molecules of the coins & ingots that all contain copper that reacts to such environment. But the grading labels don’t say “environmental damage” & only a few even say “shipwreck effect” to let buyers know these things are damaged numismatic items.
