<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 964241, member: 15199&quot;]As a &quot;devil&#039;s Advocate&quot;, I can see where ethically it is wrong, but is it legally? Coinage is covered by US law when it is altered in a fraudulent manner, but what about a slab? If you bought it , apiece of paper and a plastic shell, cant you do what you wish to it? If you have a ford, you can paint it rainbow, chop it down, change the name plate from FORD to FRAUD, and can Ford do anything to you? Even if you want to sell it that way? I haven&#039;t read if the TPG automatically copyrights their labels ( Other than name)or if they retain the rights to the slab , if they want to recall it for relabeling can they force you to turn it in? An artist could probably crack a slab and write MS-70 over the grade, or add a grade to a genuine without any problem as an artistic satire against grading. I know there has been legal cases against counterfeit slabs, but not sure if any against a misuse of a genuine slab.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just to wake up the brain at night <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
