<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 4612925, member: 77639&quot;]Assuming the TPGs do a good job with technoslabs, it will be a huge moneymaker because there will be lots of folks wanting their coins in them ... huge flood of coins for reholdering.&nbsp; May not be economically feasible for coins worth less than a few hundred dollars though.&nbsp; Probably in a few years, any valuable coin that is still in a non-technoslab will get a extra-close look whenever it comes to market.</p><p><br /></p><p>The primary purpose of having technoslabs will be to fight counterfeiting.&nbsp; But the possibilities beyond that are limitless.&nbsp; Theft deterrence is one.&nbsp; Dealers can have scanners at shop exits to detect hidden coins going out.&nbsp; Shows can have a scanner at exits.&nbsp; If a coin is reported missing from a table, its ID goes in the scanner server.&nbsp; It will be easier to identify lost coins when they are found.&nbsp; Inventory by dealers, auction houses and collectors will be much more efficient.&nbsp; Data on the coin (mintage, etc.) and pictures can be encoded in the chip(s).&nbsp; There can be some erasable user memory where the owner can put in whatever data they please.&nbsp; And there&#039;s more beyond these possibilities ... you might even be able to use a slab as a flashlight! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie12" alt="o_O" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
