Agree.
Each time this subject comes up I can't help but wonder what folks must be thinking? Are they not aware that coins downgrade or upgrade or even get misgraded and misattributed?

Museums have been doing this for a long time - they can label coins with ink that dissolves in acetone. It's ugly but it works.
Suppose PCGS can now do the same thing electronically - so that the label can't be seen with the naked eye, but it's there & can be altered with the right equipment.

<< <i>Perry, are you really taking this thread as being a serious guess?!? WOW!
I know you are kidding but some have seriously proposed to mark coins similar to the way diamonds are marked with a micro serial number.

I agree 100%

...Actually, that is interesting.....in another hobby - Arrowhead Collecting - it is quite common and accepted to have writing on the artifact. Many times, people will mark where the item was found, an ID # of some sort, their name, etc.
...with artifacts like those, when they sell, people make a big deal about NOT taking the markings off.
Editted for spelling!
