<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 159432, member: 3011&quot;]This is a bad business practice in my opinion.&nbsp; It isn&#039;t fraud, because the customer knows up front what the rules are, but it&#039;s amazing that this sort of thing is tolerated by the collecting community, and even defended!&nbsp; The sole purpose is to make a little extra profit [i.e., avoiding the cost of slabbing] under the guise of somehow upholding strict standards.&nbsp; When a customer pays to have the coin graded and slabbed, this should be done even if the grade comes back as &quot;AU50 - Cleaned&quot; or whatever.&nbsp; There is absolutely no good reason why a coin should not be in a slab regardless of condition as long as the condition is spelled out on the label.&nbsp; After all, that&#039;s what the customer is paying for.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
