It was lack of education that let that genie out of the bottle, so it only stands to reason that increased education can put it back in <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>And I can give you two examples of where that&#039;s happened. 1 - for years, centuries even, harshly cleaning your coins by wiping them down with cloths and several other practices was the norm. But with education that genie was put back in the bottle. 2 - for many years the TPGs followed established grading standards and graded coins correctly. And then, lack of education on the part of collectors allowed them to pretty much start over-grading everything, and that genie was let out. But increased education has begun to put a stop to that, collectors in large numbers have begun to realize this, recognize it, and have become aware of just much and how badly the TPGs are over-grading coins. And that genie is well on its way to being put back into the bottle !</p><p><br /></p><p>So yeah, it can happen.
