[QUOTE="TypeCoin971793, post: 4611339, member: 78244"]They are improving holder security, with holders made in China. The RFID chip is just a bandaid fix and a marketing ploy. All the coins with the chip currently have pictures, which are far more useful in holder verification than the chip. The chip info can be swiped using an RFID encoder and transferred to a fake slab with a fake chip. If there is no picture, the chip is useless in this case, or at least as useful as the QR code or barcode. They may have incorporated some safeguards to prevent this, but obviously it isn’t in the public domain for good reason. We should be scared when the fake slabs start redirecting to a fake TPG website with pics of the fake coins in the fake holders. Wouldn’t that be a fun minefield?[/QUOTE]
