If you have a smartphone, there are apps which can detect and read the data from an NFC chip
(as shown in the photo you posted).

I know, but random slabs.................some will have the chip and some will not.
So you have to check it to see if it has a chip.
PCGS says that the label is marked, I just don't see any mark indicating the chip.
Maybe it's on the label directly over the chip [the folded back portion in the pic above] or maybe it's on the reverse.
Just wondering.

There is a symbol on the back of the slab
Collector, occasional seller
Also, if there is a source of light behind the slab you can see the chip itself between the labels. It is much larger than pictured, almost as big as the label.
Thanks @mcarney1173 and @ChrisH821 and @yosclimber

You've posted the incomplete mock-up of the new slab and technology. Below is the actual product. I think you will agree that it makes for identifying slabs with the chip far easier.

So @mcarney1173 was correct,

Something interesting I read on PCGS:
"We reserve the right to remove an item from your inventory prior to the three-business day requirement at our discretion. Items with an NFC chip will be automatically released if the new owner adds the item by tapping the NFC chip with their smart device. The item is automatically released and available for the new owner to add as they have the item in their physical possession. You have the option of “locking” your inventory for a limited amount of time, if your inventory is locked, an item within your inventory will not be automatically removed when the item is tapped by a device with an NFC chip reader. If you are exhibiting your items or you are selling them at a physical location, such as a collectible show, locking your inventory will allow your items to remain in your Registry even if someone taps the NFC chip. The “lock” will automatically be removed after the pre-set timeframe has expired."
It will be very interesting to see how this technology evolves with the industry.
Getting more complex

Not so much complex as it is complicated.
Just to be complete, and show what the BACK of the slab looks like:
I have an upgraded Capped Bust Half enroute with one of those thingies on/under the label.

The coin looks beautiful on the phone!
This should help with the counterfeit problem.....At least until the nefarious element devises a method to duplicate or otherwise negate the system. I would think it will be a long while though... Cheers, RickO
That makes sense. The locking thing is a good idea. for shows, etc
