This week, the Professional Coin Grading Service announced "The Big One," a service called PCGS Secure Plus -- a new service line that will be an option for most collectors except for rare and ultra rare coins which must be certified by PCGS Secure Plus.

Coins grade through Secure Plus will be scanned by an optical device that will map the surface of the coin creating a digital signature of its characteristics that can be used for later reference.
