<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 476212, member: 66&quot;]As GD said, you can join the NGC collectors Society for free.&nbsp; If you want to submit you have to join at one of the higher paid levels.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am a member of the society and I post on the NGC forum.&nbsp; When this came up over there an NGC rep came onto the thread and stated that the photos would be available through the certification verification page and that this was now going to be a free access.&nbsp; In the past certification verification has only been for the paid member level.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Say I&#039;m a counterfeiter.&nbsp; I take a picture of the fake coins and create a photocertificate or whatever the hardcopy version of the NGC photo is.&nbsp; Now when I sell the coin you look at the hardcopy photocertificate and it matches so you buy it.&nbsp; You now have a fake coin and a fake certificate.&nbsp; By keeping the digital image on their site a counterfeiter would have to hack the site and insert their image of the fake into NGC&#039;s website.&nbsp; More likely they would have the images on a spoof site and show you that site when they try and sell you the coin.&nbsp; So it would be important for YOU to goto or enter the NGC site yourself to make sure you aren&#039;t being redirected to the spoof site.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>There aren&#039;t too many coins now that will not fit in one of the oversized multi-coin holders. (I think the limits are 108 mm diameter and 6 mm thick.) Sure there are medals that won&#039;t fit but there are very few medals that NGC will certify.&nbsp; The only certificates I have ever seen from NGC are the Eliasberg Foreign gold coin certificates.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
