Fake Slabbed Panda

[Scuzzle]

I bought a slabbed 2014 Panda off a seller on Ebay, he has good feedback all for coins so I figured it would be safe enough but I'm just not certain about it.  It's a PCGS First Strike 2014 Panda and looking at it from the front the panda seems to sit level in the slab however when I flip it over the temple of heaven seems ever so slightly squint, just the merest touch off.  Is this something I should be concerned about?  I've been looking at it all morning and I'm sure the two sides are a fraction misaligned.

Bit of a dull day, not the best light but this is the best i can do.

Try to put in your cert no in their homepage

I did, and it seems legit

Yes I see it comes up, do you see what I'm getting at though, the Temple seems to lean off to the left slightly where the Panda looks totally square in the capsule.  I was not sure if it was just my perception being wrong or not.

[Agpanda]

it is not always they line up perfect,

On the pandaside, does the line under the panda level?

In your pic it seems a bit of

That's what I have been using as a guide line, the frosted lower straight edge on the Panda side I thought was straight enough but the base of the temple although not a perfectly straight line does appear to be higher at the right hand side than it is at the left.

Hey Scuzzle. I have two 2014 PCGS slab bed pandas (not first strike) and they both lean on the same side to the same degree as yours. I wouldn't worry about it

some mint operator must have turned up for work after a night on the piss.

I just had a look at my two non-slabbed 2014s and they both have the same left-leaning temple

Grr now I have to go look at mine!

Cheers guys, you have put my mind at rest, all morning I've been looking at it thinking it must be fake as the proper one would not be out any.

If it's a bit off it could be worth loads as a miss struck rarity!

[lightjaw]

Just checked mine, agreed, slightly wonky. No biggie.

[Scuzzle]

They must get minted slightly off then, I'm happy with that, I just saw it and figured I must have a fake.  No biggie

[sovereignsteve]

Oh course, there may have been a huge lot of fake Pandas sent to Europe that year

Looks Real to me

Glad it worked out. Next time maybe check the cert of verification before buying http://www.pcgs.com/cert/

The off angle is quite common and you don't need to worry as long as the certificate number comes up. I have several that are slightly tilted. As long as it doesn't say something lime PCCS, I think you are fine.

i have an ms69 and an ms 70 both same as yours first strike 2104 and mine seem to lean little left, they all seem to do this but i am more concerned with how many of these ms70 bleeders there is  they seem to be millions of em!! i think there is something like 24k of these ms70's in the world lol
