<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 74621, member: 3011&quot;]I have to disagree.&nbsp; It isn&#039;t the function of the grading companies to set prices or tell collectors what is or isn&#039;t collectible.&nbsp; It is their function to provide accurate information for a price.&nbsp; They aren&#039;t the judge, jury and executioner or a governing body that controls the numismatic world.</p><p><br /></p><p>I can easily imagine what would happen if cleaned and damaged coins were slabbed.&nbsp; An efficent market would spring up for those items and the people interested in collecting coins that are less than perfect.&nbsp; It isn&#039;t the job of the TPGs to tell collectors that this can&#039;t or shouldn&#039;t be done.&nbsp; What they are doing is a form of market-rigging by successfully convincing people that a cleaned coin is numismatically valueless.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
