<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 4612115, member: 26302&quot;]I am sure the TPGs can eventually try to get some RFID chip package, with high res photos, etc to protect high end coins. What I am worried about as a hobby is current generation or older slabs being perfectly copied, (holograms and logo printing are not hard), and better fakes being placed inside. Imagine if someone can product a &quot;good&quot; fake slab of generic 63 gold without major identifying blemishes, and match it up with correct holder?What dealer can afford to spend this time for every purchase to try to ferret this out? Worst, what reputation will the hobby get when 80 people start broadcasting on social media how they were scammed with such good fakes? What about slabbed mercuries and ASE? $50 is a lot of money per coin in some countries, worth the effort to do it better.</p><p><br /></p><p>Its the reputation of our entire hobby I worry about. We already have a bad enough one with the PM thieves that pop up every couple of years. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
