<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1628933, member: 112&quot;]Bad assumption on your part. Whether the coin goes into a regular slab or a details slab is determined by the condition of the coin <u>after</u> it has gone through the restoration process. It is not uncommon for the situation you describe to occur. </p><p><br /></p><p>But it is worth noting that the exact opposite can also occur. For example, a coin can be in a regular NGC slab, but the owner wants to see if the coin can possibly upgrade. So he sends it in to NCS to have them work on the coin. They do, but as a result of them working on it damage that was previously hidden is exposed and the coin then goes into a details slab. Or, is downgraded instead of being upgraded.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for PCGS they have obviously decided to compete with NGC for the restoration business. I&#039;m just surprised it took them this long to do that. Nothing wrong with it though.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is kind of funny however that before they did this they used to work on some coins (usually by dipping them in one product or another) without even asking the owner of the coin for permission to do that. And they did it for free.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
