<p>[QUOTE="ecichlid, post: 629683, member: 19376"]I disagree because my original post makes no mention or implies the "proclaiming the end of coin collecting because of counterfeits". I re-read my original post, I don't see the inference. I think he did well stating that PCGS will follow suit of other TPG's that are posting pictures. He's right on there.</p><p> </p><p> I'm not sure we understand each other. If the old slab has a real coin in it, but the slab is a well done fake, how would it be easily recognizable? The only way I could see it being easily recognizable would be if there was a way to view the coin on-line that resides in the slab. Since this is not possible with PCGS's current process, it would be just a matter of time before the market would reject the old slabs and insist that the old slabs be re-slabbed using the new process. Does this make sense to you or am I missing a point made?</p><p> </p><p>Mark, I appreciate your insight (as well as others) and taking the time to discuss a business process with a novice collector. I might mot understand things because of ignorance, but I can also bring a fresh perspective without much bias. Although I can assure you, more often than not, it will be ignorance I bring to the table. But I'm eager to learn! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
