<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lkeigwin, post: 1240293, member: 30400&quot;]This topic has been discussed ad nauseum on forums for a long time. The best advice is to be smart about who you buy from, realize that if it sounds too good to be true it is, study and learn about the coin or series before you buy, and check the PCGS cert#s (you can do it <a href="http://www.pcgs.com/Cert/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.pcgs.com/Cert/" rel="nofollow">here</a>).</p><p><br /></p><p>PCGS has begun posting images of coins they grade and these photos will often (but not always) appear when you check certs. The pictures are miserable as representations of what the coins look like but they are enough to show characteristics (flaws, e.g.) that will help assure you of genuineness. My guess is they will get much better over time.</p><p><br /></p><p>The TPG&#039;s are well aware of counterfeits slabs and they know that such holders can kill their businesses, if not this industry. I&#039;m certain we will see ongoing security improvements. I&#039;m hopeful it can make a difference.</p><p>Lance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
