<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Publius2, post: 8208276, member: 105571&quot;]I know that.&nbsp; You know that.&nbsp; Most of the people on this Forum know that.&nbsp; But it&#039;s an implied grade, not an explicit statement of condition.&nbsp;&nbsp; The TPGs use the terms &quot;Details&quot; and &quot;Genuine&quot; to explicitly denote damaged coins that they will not straight grade.&nbsp; Using &quot;Shipwreck Effect&quot; as a synonym is a dodge as I view it.&nbsp; But you may think differently and that&#039;s OK with me since I&#039;m not out to change anybody&#039;s mind.</p><p><br /></p><p>And if PCGS wants to SG a coin with seawater corrosion damage, that&#039;s their business but I don&#039;t have to buy into the deception.&nbsp; This could be viewed as one more situation where the TPGs damage their credibility.</p><p><br /></p><p>Note that I am not anti-TPG - almost all of my collections are slabbed and I value the service but I&#039;m not blind to the faults.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
