<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KSorbo, post: 1788658, member: 56370&quot;]I have a question regarding the standards used by the major TPG&#039;s to identify &quot;problem&quot; coins.&nbsp; I have always understood that the second tier TPG&#039;s (ANACS, ICG, SEGS, etc.) tend to be on the liberal side in assigning numerical grades, but are they also more lenient when it comes to cleaning, environmental damage and other issues? </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>For example, I have a MS64 Pilgrim commemorative in a SEGS slab that I suspect may be cleaned.&nbsp; Since the &quot;spread&quot; on that coin between MS64 and the lower uncirculated grades isn&#039;t that high, I wouldn&#039;t be too concerned if it was overgraded a point or two.&nbsp; However, if it is really a &quot;problem&quot; coin that should have been body bagged then I would be under water on my purchase.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Also, is there a difference between PCGS and NGC regarding this?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
