<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Frankcoins.com, post: 1421362, member: 16048&quot;]There is absolutely zero security in having an online lookup of serial numbers. The fake slabs from China almost always show VALID on the PCGS and NGC lookups, because they use a real serial number matching the date and grade obtained from Heritage or Teletrade archives. The other requirements, such as at least one grader having had 5 years experience as a full time dealer and another grader must be a PNG member (with a $250,000 net worth!) are spurious.&nbsp; Same as the trade guilds and country clubs where they tailor the membership requirements so that no one except THEM qualifies to be in control.&nbsp;&nbsp; Is that more important than the fact that ANACS&#039;s J.P. Martin has taught grading and authentication classes at the ANA for 20 years (and has often taught the graders at NGC and PCGS!)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
