Thanks Doug for the great post. This may give the CAC more ammo. I am assuming that they take an old slab insert with the security sticker on it, put a new coin label on it, and put it into a new slab. Those security stickers the TPG's use are only good if they make them destructible if removed from the slab. They will get the font down as they realize their error.

You know it's funny that a couple guys on the other board blame China for this. As far as I know counterfeiting goes on in every country. Some of the best counterfeits have probably come from right here in the US. It's just a little easier to do it in China.

The TPG's obviously will need a better solution. The interesting part will be how they deal with all of the old slabs in the market. Their reputation suffers every time a fake show up, will they pony up and offer a replacement slab that is more secure???
