How do you contact buyers since they're only appeared as e.g. a***1 ?

It takes some time - till the buyer leaves a feedback to the seller - then you can go to seller rating, and find buyer id. That is what I do.

Wouldn't touch with 10 foot pole. GCN is horrible. They are worse than ANACS and ICG and based in Poland (not that there's anything wrong with Poland).

They grade cleaned (read: scratched/micro scratch) coins and give overinflated grades. Also they probably can't tell fake from real as they suck.

Even if the coin is legitimate it is not worth taking the risk I reckon.

The pandas Eyes are not prooflike:(

From this angle it does look like there is a hole in Panda's eye. Also this angle likely burned all BSODs (black spot of death) with light. If you are considering, please ask the seller for clear straight photos without angle, so that BSODs are clear.
 
Quite a few years ago I bought a kung fu 1/4 oz gold NYC expo in one of those funny Chinese slabs , I always wondered if it was fake ,but I buried it away and kind of forgot about it ,I ran across it recently and took a hammer to the slab and cracked it out, after close inspection and comparison to some great pictures of an NGC pf70 I came across, I am pretty sure I got screwed , but you know what I'm going to send it in to NGC just as a painful reminder,Stay away from weird slabbed coins! i thought about throwing it up on Ebay before I cracked it out, but I just in my heart of hearts feel its fake and don't want it on my conscience. I have bought some old slabbed Anacs coins that worked out quite well for me STAY AWAY FROM WEIRD SLABS

Are you positive?

Oh yeah - absolutely - that is my hand holding it. This coin fooled dealers initially, then I found this as a fake, and after much deliberation it has been proven as a fake. It was very interesting - a chain of dealers from big to small got fooled, as the coin passed down the hands. :-)
