<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ToughCOINS, post: 25294576, member: 20480&quot;]Here&#039;s an extreme example of the damage that one can do to oneself by buying the TPG assigned grade, rather than the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>My opinion is that <a href="https://www.greatcollections.com/Coin/1304505/1892-Liberty-Gold-Double-Eagle-PCGS-MS-67-CAC-Green" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.greatcollections.com/Coin/1304505/1892-Liberty-Gold-Double-Eagle-PCGS-MS-67-CAC-Green" rel="nofollow">this coin</a> has been cleaned, yet also has been graded MS67 and stickered by CAC . . . an absolute travesty.</p><p><br /></p><p>The obvious thinning of the frost in the fields, especially around the date, stars and legends attests to a conscious cleaning of this coin.&nbsp; PCGS and CAC have done the marketplace an injustice.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://photos.greatcollections.com/0/1304505-3.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://photos.greatcollections.com/0/1304505-1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://photos.greatcollections.com/0/1304505-2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Now admittedly, it is a rare date, and it is a nice looking coin, but <i><b>that it is a solid MS67 coin is hardly arguable.</b></i></p><p><i><b>.</b></i></p><p style="text-align: right"><font size="1">.</font></p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
