<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1924755, member: 66"]Until the counterfeiters start attending auctions with a reader equipped to read and record the signals from the RFID chips. Go through lot viewing recording the chips and then make fake slabs with chips programmed to broadcast the same signals. The chip reader apps then show them as real.</p><p><br /></p><p>Doug</p><p>Where does the buyer get this second number that isn't on the slab? From the seller? Does the seller now have to keep records of all his slabs and the "secret number for each of them? What happens if someone loses this secret number? The slab can't be sold until it is sent back to the TPG for confirmation and a new secret number issued (with a fee for the service of course)? And of course having to look up the secret number everytime someone wants to look at a coin is going to get annoying, so we'll just make up stickers and put the secret numbers on the slabs to save time. there goes that security feature. not to mention all this scanning, getting numbers making phone calls and waiting to be called back is going to get extremely annoying very quickly. So people start buying without all the calling and guess what the secret numbers start getting lost even faster. Sorry Doug I just don't think it is practical.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
