<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yakpoo, post: 2686238, member: 18157&quot;]Some sellers on eBay crack out &quot;details&quot; coins bought at shows and sell them online to unsuspecting collectors.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve bought raw coins online that appeared quite nice...only to come back from PCGS as &quot;cleaned&quot;...usually after the return policy has expired.

I wish that TPGs would score coins by Surface, Blemishes, and Color so &quot;details&quot; coins might be more accurately valued. We pay for the service...how hard would it be for TPGs to more thoroughly document their decisions?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
