<p>[QUOTE="Cloudsweeper99, post: 90953, member: 3011"]Speedy, I would say they should even slab a counterfeit and label it as such. They've been paid. Maybe this will keep the owner from reselling the counterfeit to another unsuspecting collector, or at least make them go through the trouble of breaking it out to comit fraud. Maybe it would be the beginning of a market for counterfeits. Nobody knows. To me, EVERYTHING sent to a TPG should be professionally identified and slabbed regardless of the coin. I'm not sure I understand what the objections to this would be. It appears to me that there are many people in the hobby today who believe they should decide for all time for all collectors what should and shouldn't be collected. I take a more simple view that everything should be preserved and identified and let future collectors decide what they want to do with the coins. Cleaning used to be acceptable. Now it is unacceptable. Nobody knows what attitudes will be 100 years from now. Lets stop trying to impose our will on unborn generations of collectors.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
