<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 1818394, member: 5233&quot;]Doug, I know what you are saying...but I almost hear that you are hinting at the possibility of the TPG damaging the coin they are conserving (I haven&#039;t read this whole thread so perhaps that is where this topic has went).&nbsp; I have personally never heard of a TPG &quot;harshly cleaning&quot; a coin to the point where it was not gradable.&nbsp; I have heard of TPGs dipping coins to remove toning and finding an old cleaning underneath.&nbsp; But, my understanding is the conservation techniques that PCGS and NCS use are pretty conservative and their staff well trained.&nbsp; is there a known instance of the TPG actually causing the damage?</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, I know the obvious response to this would be the TPG would never admit to it.&nbsp; Well, I disagree.&nbsp; PCGS and NGC have built their current standing on having a good reputation in this business.&nbsp; Sometimes, that means owning up to mistakes.&nbsp; I believe they would admit to it if they in fact damaged a coin during conservation.&nbsp; So, with that in mind...has there ever been a reported case of this?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
