Fake 10-digit old PCI slabs on the market
From a post by John Bradley on vamworld
As most know, the old green 10 digit PCI slabs are highly sought, due to their grading accuracy. While PCI is not an accepted TPG, due to later problems, those original slabs are coveted. Well. someone is exploiting that fact, and are counterfeiting the 10 digit slabs.... The 1st scan is from a REAL 10 digit slab, the 2nd is fake; note that the boarder on the fake is not a continuous line of PCIPCIPCI and the logo is smudged. You won't be able to see this detail on the fake pieces, but the coins won't looks quite right; good luck out there.

Fake 10-digit old PCI slabs on the market
The NYCOINMART listings used to say "Hi, my name is Kevin" Recently
they changed to "Hi, my name is Vince." But Kevin McNerney owned the NYCOINMART.com domain and admits buying PCI. It seems inplausible that he can deny that he is not responsible for these fraudulant coin slabs made to appear as if they are the 20 year old green lable 10 digit slabs. |

Vince is Kevins partner they have been running diffrent coin rooms and using diffrent company names for years . Kevin reacently sold Sunrise Numismatics inc to his life time buddy Michael Destefano and Anthony Dellauniversipa , witch i dont understand , because Anthony owns PCA Collectables , so why would you want two companies doing the same thing ?? Now another friend of Kevin , Dennis Daidone (grader)He is a member of the ANA and a graduate from the ANA grading school in Jacksonville Florida. Dennis has worked as an advisor for other major grading services and has and eye for perfection." so I know Dennis did the grading for Kevin when they owned NAS Grading , but I dont know if he is inloved with PCI , but from what i understand he has been with him since NTC days . I think these guys are great! They are doing nothing wrong , I mean is not this how NGC and PCGS got started ? Everyone out there who knows coins , knows these guys are and they are connected with everyone , they are ok in book. A+ guys |
