[QUOTE="TypeCoin971793, post: 4650486, member: 78244"]I’m contacting people at the TPGs to get added protection to unprotected slabs so that the fake slabs are less effective. Huh? what? Not really. Pack them well and ship them the correct way, and you won’t have a problem. The TPGs do not alter coins unless paid to do so. Sometimes, yes. Sometimes no. A lot of the Chinese die-transfer counterfeits will have diagnostics of a genuine variety. Their quality varies greatly from blatantly obvious to fool the TPGs. Not necessarily. I own fakes that were struck out of the same alloy, or the thickness was increased to bring the fake up to the right weight. I ask myself “do I see anything wrong with the coin.” I do this with certified coins too, so I spot and avoid technical problem coins in straight slabs. This is a huge plus to slabs. You can also use Coin World snap-together slabs I’m thinking about doing the same thing, but with fake slabs[/QUOTE]
