Not only does the counterfeit coin have to look identical to the real version, but the slab has to be perfect.&nbsp; While this could in theory be done, it&#039;s not practical for many counterfeiters to jump through all of these hoops.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>2. Both NGC and PCGS post pics of certified coins now in order for collectors to match slabbed coins with coins in their databases.&nbsp; Other TPGs likely have other security features in place.</p><p><br /></p><p>The basic idea is to have counterfeiters jump through as many hoops as possible for even the chance of fooling you.&nbsp; They will likely, but not always, go for easier prey.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
