<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 117298, member: 112&quot;]Yeah, it could. And it has happened. But generally when it does happen it&#039;s because the coin was improperly dipped right before it was slabbed. PCGS has even been known to dip a coin before slabbing it WITHOUT asking the owner if he even wanted the coin dipped in the first place. But that&#039;s another story. The bottom line is that, with proper storage, a coin will rarely turn in the slab unless the coin was tampered with beforehand. </p><p><br /></p><p>The other point you need to remember is that the TPG&#039;s don&#039;t use techinical grading. As a matter of fact, hardly anybody does, with the exception of some individuals. Even the ANA doesn&#039;t use technical grading.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I have heard that ICCS is more conservative than the US TPG&#039;s, but I&#039;ve not heard that they don&#039;t consider eye appeal as part of the grade. It could be true, I have little to no experience with them. But discounting eye appeal as part of the grade is a huge mistake in my opinion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
