PCGS slabbed counterfeit

I understand that PCGS now grades engelhard prospector rounds, but I can’t believe this horrible fake make it into a slab. This is the most rare engelhard round with a mintage under 50. The real round has significantly better detail, is not missing a thumb over the pan, doesn’t have six fingers on the left hand, and includes a dcam finish in the entire lower half, not just where there are “waves.”

Dawn redwood root flare issue

I’ve planted several dozen dawn redwoods over the last 10 years, including about 20 trees in the fall of 2025. I had been growing those trees in 5 gallon fabric pots for the summer until planting. I box cut each rootball at the time of planting. Had a few potential future concerns at the time, but I was focused on establishment with intent to future root prune as needed.

Here is my only problem child. Not a circling root but still concerned with girdling as the trunk rapidly expands.

Is my concern overblown? I have hired arborists for air spade root pruning but wanted a gut check before making a call.
