<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mrbrklyn, post: 1004293, member: 4381&quot;]The main thing to remember is that this was STANDARD practice until a few years ago and is still prevalent, making it VERY unlikely that these coins survive in their original undipped states.&nbsp; Furthermore, in discussing your follow up post, the biggest collectors doctored coins, flat out, with tools and carvings.&nbsp; This was especially true of old coppers.</p><p><br /></p><p>So the TPGs are really stuck between a rock and a hard place with regard to these kind of activities, regardless on how they feel about it.&nbsp; They have to respond to the real coin market as it exists, otherwise they have no product.&nbsp; And they will follow market trends accordingly.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ruben[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
