That's a shame. Some idiots figured if you can chip a cat or dog, why not a coin? I understand the desire to ensure authenticity but this is not the way to do it.

Bah! Foolishness.

Your shared trait with ISIS

Islamic radicals are destroying historic artifacts all over the territory they control, erasing our precious history. This is what you're doing here. You are becoming ISIS to the numismatic community, destroying the history we work our lifetimes to preserve. Would you do this to a First Nations artifact?

Never mind. I already know the answer.

My reaction to that might well be my (enforced) last post at Coin Community.

>cuts hole into an antique coin to embed a microchip in it
>doesn't wash the coin or dip it in acid to make it "shinier thus worth more"

its almost like they are aware of what they are doing while simultaneously not realizing it.
