one more thing is that some of the faked labs are terrible as well. I am sorry I cannot point you to the exact website, but I know that in the past (maybe it was PCGS or NGC?) the fake slabs were being identified by wrong fonts, wrong spelling (LOL!) etc.
Another method is to use, as has been said, the lookup method at those sites and see if PCGS has a picture of the coin itself. Some of the fakes in slabs, when the minute (positions of design elements in relation to another, the shape of font serifs, etc.) details are examined, do not match the actual slabbed coin's pictures. The fakers started out realizing a lot of people (unfortunate and why the people could be taken easily) look at slabs and not the actual coin inside, so some of the earlier fake slabs had some pretty bad copies in them.

But this is not as fast as it may seem, so you should have patience. You may also wonder how to withdraw money from forex. Various services can help you with this task. So try out several options at once to find the most suitable one.
