I am pretty sure the Ikes will be the only graded set I build. It is all Bobby's fault, he sold me the first two.

I posted on this in one of the many threads, instead of digging, repost

When the tag is read, it generates an ordinary https page read. The request includes the cert# and a piece of time-based data. The request can be resubmitted for up to 3 or 5 minutes, after which you are told it's invalid and you need to scan the tag again.

Even if you buy the same tags (and they are not PCGS proprietary), you can't generate the same request from just the cert#.

I doubt it would take nation-state resources to crack the keys and nonces, but PCGS could make it far more difficult to usefully crack by generating new keys and nonces every few thousand slabs. There are plenty of processes where the morning startup includes re-keying secure processes.

A little more security on the one hand, a little less privacy on the other. Which do you prefer?

I would rather not have my valuable coins traced to my name using an outside program. It is vital for every collector to develop his own skill of Counterfeit Detection, not just trusting a TPG's opinion and a computer program entirely. I'm with T-BOP, I like my raw coins
