  hmm. Based on the number of scratches per square inch, and depth of the scratches, I have determined that roughly 40,000 coins have been certified by that scanner in the past 3 months. Last quarter should thus be an above average quarter for the corporation and above expectations!!

  The price of gold is set by faith, or lack of, in the currency it is priced in.

  So the coins are placed directly on a rough milled tool steel surface

  It looks like the coin is being held at knifepoint.
  If any funny business is detected, those three knives will slice it up.

  if you enlarge the image it appears the coin is being held up by the inserts, those inserts do appear to be something other than mild steel.

  Cool - thanks for sharing.
  It appears the image clipper has difficulty with old coins whose shape is not so close to being a perfect circle.
  
  I recall from the Secure Plus announcement video on youtube that
  they researched the "coin bed" very carefully. It's definitely not anthing that is going to scratch a coin.

  Are any electronics these days made of anything but plastic??? Looks like plastic to me.
  
  I think yosclimber may be right about it not being able to automatically crop a coin that isn't perfectly round.

  Surface looks plastic with the coin sitting rubber "bumpers". Lots of airflow. Those "marks" on the surface, I bet, were present when new (from the manufacturing process).

  Chinese counterfeits are still in PCGS counterfeit holders. That's the bigger problem.

  Does anyone really think our hosts would be utilizing equipment that would be damaging to the coins?? Cheers, RickO
