<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1818326, member: 112&quot;]If NCS or PCGS tries to conserve a coin and after they have finished they can see that the dirt and grime or the ugly toning that they removed has made it possible to see that the coin had previously been harshly cleaned or had altered surfaces - then they will absolutely put that coin in a Genuine or Details slab. It happens every day.</p><p><br /></p><p>It doesn&#039;t matter who does the cleaning, if the cleaning is done properly then there will be no damage to the coin. And if there is no damage to the coin then the TPGs will slab it. That happens every day too. </p><p><br /></p><p>But if there is damage to the coin from that cleaning, then the cleaning will be deemed harsh and they will not slab it.</p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s it, plain and simple.</p><p><br /></p><p>The problem is way too many people don&#039;t recognize the signs of harsh cleaning when it is right in front of their eyes. That is especially true of many who do attempt to clean coins when they don&#039;t know what they are doing. So they do it incorrectly or improperly and they leave been behind traces that show that the coin has been harshly cleaned. And the TPGs can easily see that because they do know how to recognize one when they see it.</p><p><br /></p><p>But, if a coin is cleaned properly or correctly, no matter who does it, then there will be no traces of a harsh cleaning because there will be nothing to see.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
