<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 4613393, member: 66"]That would have been possible with the RFID chips in use 13 years years ago when the fake slabs first started showing up and the use of the chips was suggested. They could be read at a distance of a few feet. Theft deterrence was suggested back then as well. The chips they are using today are of the "contact" type and have to be within about an inch of the reader. So someone at lot viewing at a show could skim chip information for making fake slabs, but if you were sneaking coins out of a shop or show they would be too far away from the readers to be activated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
