<p>[QUOTE="frostyluster, post: 1715521, member: 41979"]I feel that none of the grading services are perfect, and that NGC should really not be the 2nd most popular grading service, as they make allowances on rare coins, such as allowing cleaning on an MS grade, grading coins with marks visible to the naked eye as "MS-70", bumping from AU-58 to an MS grade, and certifying obviously cleaned AU coins as "MS-62s". I have seen several instances of this particular scenario, and I haven't even collected for 2 years yet! What is disappointing is that the dealers who sell these coins don't notice it. I understand that some feel otherwise, but I think that you should always be wary of the fact that the label sometimes lies.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
