[QUOTE="Burton Strauss III, post: 24736662, member: 59677"]I bought a slabbed coin from a Chinese FPG/TPG (BAO CUI COINS RATING) because I collect slabs from different issuers. It was a junky cast "Taiping Tongbao" and I paid under $25 including shipping (from California). It has a certificate number and a QR code - about what we expect from our US TPGs today. I don't expect people to click on a random Chinese redirector link, so I won't give it here, just some screenshots. Bear in mind this is a $25 slabbed coin. There are all the usual descriptive data that you see for a US TPG: [ATTACH=full]1582403[/ATTACH] There are front and back images of the slabbed coin (NGC does this, PCGS no). There is a three-screen description of the general coin - like PCGS CoinFacts or NGC Coin Explorer. [ATTACH=full]1582404[/ATTACH] So far nothing different. BUT there is a rotating 360-degree image of the actual slabbed coin: [ATTACH=full]1582402[/ATTACH] The "Share" button generates a 'poster' to share with friends or use as your mobile phone wallpaper: [ATTACH]1582406[/ATTACH] You can even WeChat with the registered owner![/QUOTE]
