<p>[QUOTE="Beefer518, post: 4619736, member: 87737"]No. The implied (inferred?) purpose of a photo of the slab by the TPG would be so that a coin can be verified to be the coin that is supposed to be in the slab, and therefore, if any TPG was going to photograph and attest to the authenticity of the slab & coin combination that you brought to them, they would have to spend time re-examining. What was proposed in earlier posts was that an owner of a coin can bring their coin to a show, or send it in to be photographed, in an attempt to combat slab counterfeiting. So said TPG would have to verify that the slab is genuine, and that the coin in the slab is correctly identified. Logistically impossible at no cost, and infinitely more impossible from a liability standpoint. </p><p><br /></p><p>Only way it could be done is with a new (re-)submission of the coin (at regular fees), with no additional cost to submitter for photos.</p><p><br /></p><p>If they were just going to photo a slab Joe Schmoe brought in and attach it to the slab serial number data, there would be a lot of fakes listed as genuine.
