<p>[QUOTE="ajm229, post: 91708, member: 3350"]BTW - yeah, they don't sit there and go "this counterfeit borders on MS64, but because of this scratch I'll bump it down to MS63." But I count as part of the grading process (and this is why I call it grading) the determination of the coin's authenticity and/or condition. If the TPG looks at it and calls it counterfeit, it's been "graded" as such IMO, and if they look at it, call it authentic, look even closer, and find out it was cleaned, it's been "graded" as such IMO. </p><p><br /></p><p>That's where my personal rationale is in that matter.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
