term. I think what some people that want to purchase a high end chip would like it "EXPERTISED". To my knowledge, this club does not offer such a service as we don't have a group of knowledgable inviduals that come to work and between them and their equipment could expertise a chip. The slabbing you see now is a way for an amatuer to try to pick your pockets. An expertised chip could just have a very high resolution photo of both sides and the print have a certification stamp on it. The chip does not need to be slabbed. Stamps used to be expertised this way when I was collecting stamps some 20 years ago.
