[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 4613319, member: 26302"]Maybe part of the hobby. Those parts not needing TPG might benefit. I agree it's a major concern. I have seen the better fakes, and entombed in plastic they are all the harder to find out. I think a tough sell on the chips would be privacy. Most coin collectors I know are secretive, and would not like the idea of someone being able to waive a wand over their safe or SDB and knowing what is in there. Then, what would be on the chip? If only slab number and grade, easy enough to fake. If some kind of blockchain, who in the world will pay access fees to get access to the blockchains? Even THEN, every coin for sale at an auction could have its id read and copied. Hate to be pessimistic, but everything described, to me, would be both an invasion of privacy to many, and easily duplicatable by many others. I don't have an easy solution short of learning your coins better.[/QUOTE]
