[QUOTE="TypeCoin971793, post: 4613153, member: 78244"]PCGS is already doing this. We are already seeing this. If the number of fake slabs increases in the next 10 years like the number of fake coins has in the past 10 years, our hobby will face an existential crisis. Well, a TrueView costs $5, and the chip costs, at most $5 (maybe $0.50 in bulk?). PCGS could raise grading fees by $5 for all coins to get this protection, then they would literally be the safest Slabs to buy on the market. That would put the demand for PCGS slabs well above NGC. You listening PCGS? This is really an excellent point that I have not thought of before. This would be a really interesting way to track provenance and add variety/etc. info not already on the slab.[/QUOTE]
