<p>[QUOTE="Tom B, post: 1924356, member: 11854"]The requirement for a problem-free grade at a TPG, resulting from a subtle injury or manipulation to a coin's surface, may not always be the same as the line that CAC uses to award a sticker or not. Similarly, the requirements that the TPGs use and that CAC uses for problem-free grades and/or for the awarding of a sticker need not the same as what I use. All four sets of eyes (PCGS, NGC, CAC and myself) have personal or proprietary standards that overlap in areas and diverge in others. In this case, I had missed something that CAC pointed out to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regardless, the TPGs routinely grade coins with manipulated surfaces as problem-free and CAC will sticker some of these, too. Dipped coinage is a great example of this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
