<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 478801, member: 5233&quot;]Let me make sure that I point out that I&#039;m not in support of doctoring a coin.&nbsp; Not at all, I&#039;m totally against it.&nbsp; But, this same argument can be made about any &quot;damaged&quot; slab.&nbsp; Anyone could take an ANACS or NCS slab, crack the coin out, and claim it is a nice MS coin.&nbsp; Does that mean that ANACS and NCS (and now PCGS) shouldn&#039;t slab these coins.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think it&#039;s a problem.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think we should allow our fear of these &quot;what ifs&quot; affect how we collect.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are so many great tools out there to educate collectors.&nbsp; We have tons of books, great internet resources, and knowledgeable collectors who are willing to help educate each other.&nbsp; I have very little sympathy for collectors who don&#039;t use these resources and get taken advantage of.&nbsp; I understand that there are newbie collectors who aren&#039;t aware of the resources and it happens to, and I feel bad for them.&nbsp; But, a dealer could crack that 1914-D out of that ANACS slab and put it in a 2x2 and sell it as AU.&nbsp; If someone is willing to plop down AU money for that coin (which is a lot of money) without doing any research into that coin or what AU is for Lincolns, then it&#039;s solely their fault.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
