[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 1845331, member: 15929"]Not to rain on any parades but this will have absolutely NO effect on counterfeit slabs or the production of counterfeit slabs. The ONLY possible way it "Might" would be if PCGS agreed to "reholder" every PCGS Slabbed coin at a reduced cost or for free. I see that its $5.00 per slap plus $8.00 handling fee plus return shipping costs. They'll make millions and then some enterprising soul will come up with aimilar hologram. PCGS has graded more than what, 20 million coins and it will be those "old" slabs that folks will continue to counterfeit as the threat is still alive and well as long as those older slabs still exist. Of course, PCGS, from a business standpoint, may want folks to only purchase coins in this new slab in which case it will force folk to resubmit for reholdering coins which simply cannot be sold in which case, PCGS makes a windfall! No, I hold absolutely zero importance of a new "hologram" and while it may be important to some, it certainly will NOT combat counterfeiting of older PCGS slabs.[/QUOTE]
