<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Morgan, post: 91942, member: 3630&quot;]Wow! Thats alot of topic to read.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Not that anyone cares but I would have to agree with AJM229. When the TPG determines the price that they will charge to authenticate coins they assume every coin will go into a holder and therefor they factor the cost of the holder into their price. Once you pay that price you should recieve all the services associated with that price.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I understand that you are arguing a TPG would loose customers if the graded fake and or cleaned coins. I have to disagree. They would loose money if they graded a fake or cleaned coin as anything but a fake or cleaned coin. If the coin is a fake and the grade recieved stated &quot;FAKE&quot;, with no associated number,then there is no loss of respect for the consumer since they stated the truth. If they graded a fake with a number grade than yes they deserve to go down along with AGC or SGS.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>When a collector pays the TPG for the service they are confirming their trust that the TPG knows what it is doing. If that TPG discovers that the coin is harshly cleaned and states that very thing on the slab than who looses. They were already paid to review and authenticate the coin so their loss of time is moot. They have already been paid to slab the coin so their cost associated with slabbing is covered. The person who sent it in gets the coin back in an authenticated and tampor resistant condition to do with as they see fit. They can always break it out. I agree that PVC and actively corroding coins should be returned with out the slab but adjust the fee for that. Refund the incremental cost that would have been associated with the slabbing. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>When I go for an oil change and I pay for a service that includes the changing of all the filters in my car, I damn well expect all of them to be changed. If they choose not to change one I want a good reason why AND then I expect to be compensated for that filter. This is called accountability. With out it they are no better than theives![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
