Even though you can find the occasional rattler or fattie, likewise the occasional silver war nickel or buffalo nickel most holders you see are of the last few generations.</p><p><br /></p><p>For people trying to copy the cert of a coin recently encapsulated by PCGS, obviously they would have to attempt to fake the new slab with longer cert, either that or continue to only counterfeit older slabbed coins. Yes, there will be plenty still to fake, but I bet the bad guys take a whack at the new holder fairly soon, why limit themselves? For awhile until they catch up, someone might be able to take a little more assumptions about the authenticity of the coin with the new holder, but then again, if fake coins end up into the new fancy holders, no one will care how many holograms are on the slab.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
