<p>[QUOTE=&quot;swick, post: 221818, member: 7587&quot;]Will TPG like PCGS, NGC, or ANACS grade a coin that has been &quot;cleaned&quot; or &quot;messed&quot; with in any other way? I have been looking at Morgan Dollars that are graded. I know the old saying goes &quot;buy the coin, not the slab&quot;, but if the coin is in one of the above mentioned TPG slabs, doesn&#039;t that kind of guarantee that the coin has not been &quot;messed&quot; with? Isn&#039;t that like &quot;buying the SLAB, not the coin&quot;? Since I don&#039;t know a lot about grading coins, is that the way to go about buying a coin? In other words, should I look to see if a coin is graded by a REPUTABLE TPG, then look at how the coin appears to me? If I agree somewhat with the TPG rating of the coin, then I can pretty much be sure that the coin has not been cleaned and it is authentic? I hope that I have asked these questions so that yinz can understand what I mean. Thanks to everyone in advance!</p><p><br /></p><p>swick</p><p><br /></p><p>P.S. Also, if you send a coin in to be graded, will a TPG notice an error or some other anomaly, and write it on the slab before returning it to you? Thanks again!</p><p><br /></p><p>swick[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
