标题：PCGS的警告(中国不法币商干的好事,丢尽了中国人的脸）

COUNTERFEIT PCGS HOLDERS
- March 27, 2008
In recent days, counterfeit coins in counterfeit PCGS slabs have begun to appear on eBay, the online auction site. All of the counterfeit coins/holders seen so far are coming out of China. Alert members of the PCGS Message Boards were the first to notify PCGS of the counterfeit coins/holders.
The coins themselves range from poor-quality counterfeits to well-made fakes. The counterfeit PCGS holders are well-executed, but with minor differences from a genuine holder. PCGS anticipates that authentic coins will eventually be placed into counterfeit PCGS holders in the future, perhaps with elevated grades and/or inappropriate designators (Full Bell Lines, Prooflike, etc.), although none have been seen to date.
The on-line PCGS Certificate Verification is a method for confirming that a particular certificate number matches the information in the PCGS database, but the counterfeiters are aware of this detection method and are now using valid certificate numbers (see below).
PCGS has contacted U.S. governmental agencies, including the FBI, U.S. Customs, the Secret Service, and US Postal authorities, to enlist their assistance in pursuing enforcement or legal remedies against these counterfeiters. Also, PCGS is a member of eBay's CCW Group, which monitors eBay for fraudulent listings and asks eBay to discontinue auctions of suspicious coins and/or suspend violators.
PCGS has called for eBay to stop accepting listings of any rare coins from Chinese sellers. Ebay recently pulled several auctions of counterfeit coins/holders at the urging of PCGS.
PCGS urges consumers not to purchase rare coins from Chinese sellers on eBay. While legitimate, authentic coins exist in China, the plethora of fakes and fraudulent listings on eBay increase the likelihood that coins purchased from Chinese sellers will be counterfeit.
The PCGS Guarantees of Grade and Authenticity do not apply to counterfeit holders, but PCGS has a strong interest in assisting consumers in actions against any fraudulent sellers.
Sufficient differences exist between genuine and counterfeit holders such that PCGS experts can easily identify fake holders. Consumers are cautioned that coins that appear to be underpriced may be counterfeit. PCGS urges all consumers to deal only with reputable sellers who are willing to stand behind the coins they sell.
PCGS recommends consumers consider the following any time they make a coin purchase:
Verify the certificate number using the PCGS Cert Verification program at http://www.pcgs.com/cert/

See limitations above
Avoid purchasing rare coins from eBay sellers in China.
Investigate the legitimacy of the seller (examine feedback; avoid low feedback sellers; find out how long the seller has been in business; do they have a good reputation?; do you have legal recourse in case of a problem?).
Make sure you have a money-back guarantee that is enforceable (for example, credit card companies will often assist in cases of fraud).
Realize that "bargains" in numismatics are usually too good to be true.
If you have a question about a particular coin, be sure to have it checked out by an Authorized PCGS Dealer or by PCGS before the expiration of any guarantees.
Request an immediate refund if the coin you purchased turns out to be a counterfeit.

不懂,瞎翻译:
近几天来， EBAY在线拍卖开始出现假盒假-币的状况，目前为止被发现的所有这些假劣的钱币及盒子都来自中国。PCGS留言簿的机敏的成员是第一个通知假劣硬币或持有人的。
钱币本身有普通的低仿及精美的高仿。虽然假盒子制造精美，但和真品比较会有较小的区别。虽然迄今未发现，PCGS预期将来会出现假盒真币，但是分数高估或加上响铃线或镜面币等不适当的标示。
PCGS在线凭证证明系统可以证明证书上的编码与PCGS数据库中的信息是否匹配，但是作赝品者已知道这个方法和现在使用有效证书编码。
PCGS与美国政府机构联系，包括FBI，美国海关、特勤局和美国邮政当局，请求他们协助追求执行或法律补救反对这些作赝品者。并且 PCGS是eBay CCW群的成员，该组织负责监测eBay欺骗拍卖，并且要求eBay中断可疑硬币拍卖或者暂停违背者拍卖权利。
PCGS要求eBay买主停止接受所有来自中国的罕见硬币。 Ebay在PCGS的催促下最近扯破了假劣硬币的几次拍卖或持有人。
PCGS敦促消费者在eBay不购买来自中国的罕见硬币。并非所有中国人都会卖假，但伪造品过多存在使得从中国卖主购买假-币的可能性太大。
PCGS对于等级与真实性的保证并不适用于假劣盒子，但是PCGS会在行动上尽力协助消费者反对所欺骗卖主。
真假盒有明显区别存在，PCGS的专家能容易辩论假盒子。
对PCGS专家来说，假盒子仍有许多破绽，警告消费者看上去被定低价的硬币也许是假劣。
PCGS敦促所有消费者仅和能够保真的名声好的卖主交易。
PCGS希望消费者购买时用下列方法确认：
使用PCGS在线凭证确认系统确认盒子上的确认码是否为真
