Coin Slabbing of the Future

 

In the future, there will be only one combined grading service, PNGCS. This conglomerate will operate as one entity for the entire hobby of Numismatics. As of 07/01/2021 no other agency will be allowed to start up or combine with the Mother Ship after this cut-off date.

 

In addition to the regular grading skills, all future Graders will have E.S.P. capabilities . While they are holding the coin, the grader will see flashes of who actually handled that particular coin in the past. These extra sense abilities will immediately inform the grader if a coin is a counterfeit, has been doctored, or altered in any way and by WHOM! Your books on time accounting firms near me Virginia.

 

Ports installed into the graders cerebellum will allow downloads of images so further prosecution can be executed.

 

The cases will be made of clear diamond silica carbonate, fused together with .05 mega-watt lasers in a argon-xenon gas matrix vacuum. On the Moh’s harness scale, this new slab material is equivalent to a natural occurring corundum (ruby) impervious to the most of common means of entry.

 

Before sealing the coin into the slab, a programmable digital electronic microprocessor was imbedded in the carbonate, pre-set to a determined frequency. This microprocessor will emit a frequency signal of between 900-1600 megahertz, the same as most modern day cell phones, so in essence, the slab is constantly calling up the Grading Service and asking a verifier for authenticity.

 

If the verifier determines that the slab or the coin contained is not the original as issued, the verifier will send out a mobile Tracking Goon Squad to collect the errant coin slab.

 

This Squad has at it’s disposal, all the means necessary to retrieve the grading services proxy property. Think of men dressed in all black, head gear, batons, boots, guns, battering rams...ahh kinda like present day SWAT Teams going in after a known felon. "We have a no-knock warrant from PNGCS!" BOOM!

 

Profiteers who wish to emulate the grading services will have a tough time, as the next generation f-bay and other auction venues will install screening devices to prohibit falsified/generic coin slabs.

 

Raw coin dealers will proliferate in the alleys and back rooms of abandoned pool halls and other dark seedy places. These RawC’s as they will become to be known, will still grace the outlawed Dansco albums that so many collectors now hide from the authorities.

 

The future is great…or is it?

you're right.

I've been collecting type coins off and on for a very long time. Lacking imagination, hadn't until recently challenged myself, adding to the fun, by combining type with other sets of interest. I recently completed a 1912 birth year set to honor my father, including gold. In so doing I collected a Liberty nickel, all the Barbers and four 20th century gold types. I assembled an 1859 proof set (no gold, no 3c), which included an IHC (one year type), stars obverse 5c and 10c, and no motto 25c, 50c and $1.00. Did my own birth year, 1945, to add a nicer Merc and Walker. Did a 1939 proof set to commemorate my parents marriage year. If I had thought of it earlier there are other proof and birth (or other) year sets that would have looked neat together, but I already had many of the types covered and not needing upgrades. I'm probably going to hear that this is old hat, but the approach is new to me and may be to others. Now, to find out when my great-great grandmother was born...I need to upgrade some of my early type. 

Got pictures?
