[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 1923639, member: 15929"]Iphones that "read" credit cards have an adaptor that the cards "slides" through thereby making the magnetic data on the card "readable". Perhaps the closest thing possible to what you are suggesting would be a bar code reader app. But then, bar codes can easily be faked along with labels, and the slabs that contain the labels. The "Best" defense against counterfeit coins is to "know" what to look for. Inferior fields, devices, devices that are not accurate for the year. But then, this requires a lot of work. The next thing to know is that if its too good to be true, then it probably is. Never make cash transactions "on the fly" unless your at a Coin Show dealing with a dealer and/or in an established coin shop. If you own a coin shop, never finalize the transaction until you've validated the product. (Remember the If its too good to be rtue...........?)[/QUOTE]
