<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 24637877, member: 112&quot;]NGC has their own version of Secure Plus. From what I&#039;ve seen, they are quite similar.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>They claim they could do that. But I seriously doubt they spend the money and time scanning every raw coin submitted to them just to see if it had been previously slabbed in a Secure Plus slab. And that&#039;s what it would take to find out if it had been. I&#039;m pretty sure the only raw coins they scan are those submitted under the Secure Plus tier.</p><p><br /></p><p>edit - I would add that it is claimed that in the event of theft, that a coin, even if cracked out of its slab, could be scanned and identified. But I&#039;m not aware of any case where it&#039;s ever happened. And I seriously doubt it would stand up in court given how common and how easy is for pictures of the exact same coin to look entirely different. And that&#039;s all they&#039;d have to go by, their scanned picture.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Not necessarily, because anything could have happened to the coin after it was cracked out, thus changing the grade. And while I can&#039;t swear to it I think coins in Secure Plus slabs can be resubmitted for regrading just like any other coin already slabbed. And there is never any guarantee resubmitted coins will get the same grade and or special designations. Any and all copper coins would be a good example of that.</p><p><br /></p><p>The one advantage the Secure Plus, and NGC&#039;s version of it, have is that all coins submitted under that tier are run through the &quot;sniffer&quot; to see if the coin has anything on it that shouldn&#039;t be there, thus rendering the coin ungradable.</p><p><br /></p><p>But other than that, there really isn&#039;t any advantage that I know of to using these secure plus grading tiers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
