Here's a scary thought.

Exactly, high-res pics for every coin should be enough. It takes only seconds to verify any NGC cert no. on a mobile device using their app...

Then they will just counterfeit the NGC and PCGS verification websites and pictures.

 

if you like scary stories, then here is one that is 100 percent true. when i was maybe 3 years old i remember that while i was at my grandparents house there were these hands outside of the window. they were very large hands and they moved faster and faster towards the window. there was no breeze on that night and there was nothing outside that could have caused such a thing to appear. years later i told my mother and grandmother, (who were both there when the hands appeared) about what i had seen, they both knew exactly what i was talking about and confimed in detail that they had seen the hands too. they also told me that they had been using an ouja board during that time, they said that sometimes they used a planchet for the board and sometimes they used a silver dollar instead of the planchet. to this day i still have no idea what those hands really were.

 

Only for coins slabbed within the last five years at NGC and the last three at PCGS. Maybe five to seven million of the sixty million coins they have slabbed. And in a lot of cases with NGC they were more interested in showing the slab in the picture and not the coin. Many of theor early photos aren't good enough to match the coin in hand to the picture. I can't say about PCGS because I haven't seen any of their actual certification pictures (I don't mean the truviews). I haven't been able to get thru to the verification page.

 

Easy explanation, coins776. Remember "Edward Scissorhands," [Johnny Depp, 1990]?



Now suppose you were Edward Scissorhands' hands -- his real ones. Wouldn't you clamber endlessly through the world, searching for Edward, forever, hoping to be re-attached??

Yearning to tell Edward that with, umm, real hands, when he picked up a Proof Kennedy, it wouldn't come back Details? The possibility of actually collecting paper money again? Real hands, so a Redbook lasts more than half an hour?
