PCGS needs an Anticounterfit Service

The Big One is fine and all.....

....But with all of the fake slabs/fake coins in slabs out there for sale, I think there is an even greater need for anticounterfitting technology .

With the laser identification/photos, wouldn't it be smart to photograph/laser ID each coin and have on their website a "fingerprint" of each coin, so that a prospective buyer of a graded coin could reference the PCGS database to tell if the coin for sale is the same coin on the website in that holder. That seems to me to be a solid way to help eliminate counterfits.

...might be easier said than done.

...sorry if this has been discussed before.


(editted for spelling)

......I collect old stuff......
