<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tom B, post: 1685182, member: 11854&quot;]Over the years I have read a number of times where folks have complained that PCGS or NGC altered the appearance of a coin without authorization.&nbsp; Some of the people who have complained I have not believed because of their history or reputation however, other folks make a compelling case that it may happen.&nbsp; I believe that in rare instances both PCGS and NGC may have altered the appearance of coins without prior authorization, but on a coin that looks like this I do not think either would have done so.&nbsp; Additionally, as Doug has stated, each service now offers their own conservation tier so they will do this on demand for coins that they think may benefit from work.&nbsp; Personally, I have never had a coin go to PCGS or NGC and have toning removed and all I send in is nicely toned coins.&nbsp; My experience has stretched back near 20-years, but I do not send in thousands of coins per year.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
