<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1818693, member: 112&quot;]No Richie I&#039;m not hinting at that. I don&#039;t hint period, I just come right and say things if I have something to say.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I am talking about is an older coin having been harshly cleaned at some point in the past, then the coin re-tones or get all dirty and that toning or dirt covers up the signs of the previous harsh cleaning so that it cannot be seen. Then the current owner ask the TPG to conserve the coin and once the toning and or dirt is removed the signs of the old harsh cleaning is visible again so the TPG puts the coin in a Genuine or Details slab. (anyone that knows coins also knows that this scenario of old harsh cleaning or damage is pretty dang common)</p><p><br /></p><p>When this happens, the person who asked the TPG to conserve the coin typically blames the TPG for damaging their coin. They will claim that they couldn&#039;t see any signs of damage or harsh cleaning when they sent the coin in, so it must be the TPG&#039;s fault.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course it wasn&#039;t the TPG&#039;s fault at all, but the owner just about always refuses to believe that.</p><p><br /></p><p>The same kind of thing often happens even when a coin is just sent in for grading. The coin comes back graded lower than the owner expected and when the owner looks at the coin closely trying to figure out why in the word the TPG graded it so low he sees some contact marks or hairlines, or something. And he immediately blames the TPG for damaging his coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>But the contact marks or hairlines or whatever was really there all along and the owner just didn&#039;t see them before he submitted the coin. But it&#039;s never his fault for missing the marks, it can&#039;t be his fault, according to him. It&#039;s always the TPG&#039;s fault instead.</p><p><br /></p><p>As a general rule people will always blame someone else for their own mistakes or shortcomings before they will ever blame themselves.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
