<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1049453, member: 112&quot;]That is correct. Example - a coin in a regular NGC slab is submitted for grade review because of what looks like a problem of some sort. NGC may then send the coin to NCS and see if they can help it. If NCS determines they cannot help the coin and that the coin does indeed have a problem then the coin is placed in either an NCS slab or an NGC Details slab and the NGC guarantee comes into play at that time.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Do you think a dipped coin should have a designation on the slab saying that it has been dipped ? It&#039;s basically the same thing if not in fact the same thing. But there are literally millions and millions of dipped coins in both NGC and PCGS slabs with no designation stating that.</p><p><br /></p><p>The point is this Tex - the powers that be in the numismastic community, including the ANA, the TPGs, all of the recognized experts and authorities, basically nobody in the numismatic community has a problem with coins being cleaned. They only have a problem with coins being improperly or harshly cleaned.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is a point I have brought up many times, that being that the use of the word clean (or any of its forms like cleaned, cleaning) are used improperly when describing what is done to coins. The upshot is there is nothing wrong with cleaning a coin and thus there should be no designation on the slab.</p><p><br /></p><p>But there is everything wrong with harshly/improperly cleaning a coin and thus that designation is <u>always</u> put on the slab ![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
