[QUOTE="LostDutchman, post: 845177, member: 16994"]Ok, This is my hypothetical.

NGC has graded more then 48,000 coins at that level. My point is that it just takes 2 different coins to show up with the same fingerprint for this whole thing to be a wash. Just how sensitive are the machines??? I haven't seen anything besides a comment by Don Willis to my question that suggest that they have scanned "Tens of thousands" of coins... did any of them show up the same when they shouldn't have? When you are going to use a technology that has the possibility of flagging a coin as stolen these are things that need to be addressed.[/QUOTE]
