<p>[QUOTE=&quot;eddiespin, post: 24882953, member: 4920&quot;]I have many cleaned coins in my humble collection, Dan, I hear you 100% there. But grading has always been about that. Don’t confuse TPG certified with grading. TPG certified is for their market. They cut corners on quality, they get a reputation, and a reputation sticks. But technically, from a pure technical grading standpoint, there are tons upon tons of cleaned coins that grade very high, and I’m with you there. The TPGs won’t let those trade in their market at their price guide when they find them, because, honestly, they’d be laughed out of business if they did it. But collect them, we all do it. But they don’t get the respect. Think of the luster as the icing on the cake. Doesn’t mean the cake is inedible without it. But they won’t let those trade in their labels, it’s all that means. It’s the kiss of death for their market when they’re cleaned.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
