<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kirispupis, post: 7384227, member: 118780&quot;]What you say is true, but my concern is since there&#039;s no actual guarantee, one can&#039;t fully trust a slabbed coin as genuine. Even worse is that most vendors can only blindly trust the TPG since the coin isn&#039;t available for close inspection.</p><p><br /></p><p>From a security standpoint, this is a huge hole. If I were manufacturing my own fakes, I&#039;d want to build them up to where I can trick NGC. Once that&#039;s done, I can sell my coins on the most vaunted auction sites without a worry that they&#039;ll be caught.</p><p><br /></p><p>For me, this lowers my value of TPGs significantly. Since I don&#039;t know how exhaustive NGC&#039;s evaluation is compared to the major auction houses like CNG, I&#039;d rather take the word of a vendor that at least provides the option to return a coin if it&#039;s determined to be fake. For NGC encased coins, even if I remove the coin from the case and then find it to be fake, there will be a huge burden on me to prove it since the vendor can state that NGC encased it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
