I just got this 1960 Proof Franklin and did research to see if this was counterfeit or not. The labels and hologram are just a little different than on their website, but I think they change every now and then. I want to re-sell but I want to make sure it is real first.

Your message says this is a proof 1950, but the coin in the photos is a 1960. Also, if you go to ngccoin.com, you can select
Resources/Verify NGC Certification and type in the slab number and the grade to see photos of the real coin. You said "their website", but I didn't know if you were referring to NGC or some counterfeit detection site.

Was there some specific reason why you thought this might not be real? (a sleazy looking person offering to sell it for $3 or something like that)

Also, I'd say that if you really had a 1950, it would be worth more like $250-350 instead of the $15-20 that a 1960 would likely fetch.

Sorry, that was a typo. Didn't proof read. It is a 1960. I went on: www.ngccoin.com/news/article/959/counterfeit-holders
The only reason I thought it might not be real was the website.
You answered it, thanks. I did not know about the verify page.

Also, if you were going to create a counterfeit holder, it would make more sense to do it with a really valuable coin instead of one like a 1960 proof Franklin. Not to say it can't be counterfeit, but the odds are quite low.

The coin and holder seem OK to me. NGC changes their slabs and holograms every so often to prevent counterfeits.

But, their website only shows one example. They should show every version.

Good point.

highroller4321 knows what he talking about, I think it is a good coin in a legit holder....

I agree about the integrity of the coin and holder. No concerns here.
