<p>[QUOTE="rzage, post: 1795361, member: 14070"]I think the tpgs take a is it market acceptable approach . Still they have flagged coins as cleaned that haven't been just like they have graded coins that have been . It's a known fact that tpgs dip coins and "conserve" problem coins . So like you said unless it has been over dipped , scrubbed , and boiled they really can't say with certainty in 100% of the cases . Though they are quite good at telling if most coins have been tampered with just with their experience of seeing so many coins. Have you ever seen a coin that just quite doesn't look right , that's your experience telling you something happened , as you see more that happens more and more , but sometimes they're wrong . By the way , since the "sniffer" came out it can flag left over chemicals on coins with a good amount of certainty .[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
