<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 26160538, member: 77639&quot;]Generally, it’s a good security measure to not post pics of slabs you own with numbers visible.&nbsp; I generally don’t post pics of coins I own that way. But rather than black-out the label, crop the slab photo so only the coin is in the pic.&nbsp; This also eliminates the grade.&nbsp; There are all sorts of ways posting the slab label online could bite you.&nbsp; In some cases, it could lead to personal information about you … your real name, where you live, your registry name (which can lead to info on the extent of your collection), how much you paid for the coin, when and where you bought it, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>Say you bought a slab online via eBay.&nbsp; The seller knows the cert. no., your name, address, how much you paid, your contact info, how you paid, and maybe more.&nbsp; Then you post a pic of the slab with the label visible in an online forum, and you’ve posted pics of a number of your other coins previously and since. The eBay seller, maybe their family, friends, employees, hackers, etc. have access to your info and now know other coins you own.&nbsp; Might make you a target.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
