The grader doesn’t have to do it. They just send it off to be photographed after it’s graded so it won’t slow them down much. A machine could take photos 24/7 at high speed and any unskilled technician would just have to set the coin on the machine. A 5 year old could do that.</p><p><br /></p><p>Or they could put the burden on the seller. If a seller wants to convince a buyer their coin is real they’ll have to send it in to get photographed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sellers who chose not to have their coins photographed could still sell them but people would just have to prove they are real some other way. Most likely by having a good reputation and offering some sort of return policy.</p><p><br /></p><p>I just know as a buyer myself if I see a photo of a coin matches the coin in my hand down to the toning and individual scratches and dings I know it’s real without having any knowledge of being able to detect counterfeits.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
