<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 317890, member: 3011&quot;]I think most people send the coin to be authenticated, graded, and slabbed.&nbsp; Every coin sent with the proper fee should be authenticated, graded, and slabbed.&nbsp; The grade can be accompanied by whatever description of the problems discovered that suits their &quot;standards.&quot;&nbsp; I never even hinted that they should provide the service for free.&nbsp; On the contrary, I said they should provide the service for which they were paid and not try to save a few pennies under the guise of &quot;standards.&quot;&nbsp; The fact that the PCGS can get away with this fraud only proves that you can fool most of the people at least some of the time.&nbsp; If PCGS actually slabbed and identified cleaned, holed and even counterfeit coins, they would raise the standards in the hobby by saving at least a few unknowing collectors from buying problem coins for full value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
