<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 318665, member: 112&quot;]It is not left up to someone&#039;s opinion, it&#039;s a pretty straightforward rule - improperly or harshly cleaned coins will not be slabbed. Where people get confused is that they don&#039;t understand the difference between cleaned and improperly/harshly cleaned. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>This is a perfect example of how inconsistent PCGS actually is. And the incident you relate is by no means the exception to the rule - it happens rather often with PCGS. And you want to make it even worse - it even happens when the Proof sets are submitted in original packaging.</p><p><br /></p><p>These are examples that most people are simply not aware of; some are aware of them. And yet they will still claim that PCGS is the &quot;best TPG&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>No they do not say it is a bonus. Those are my words and my words only. I was using them in an allegorical sense so that some might finally understand why some coins are not slabbed.</p><p><br /></p><p>The bottom line is this - they tell you flat out that some coins will not be slabbed - period. That is their business model and they have every right to follow it. It&#039;s their business and they make the rules. Whether others disagree with it or not has nothing to do with it. When you submit a coin to them you agree to this rule by making the submission. To complain about it afterwards simply because you don&#039;t like the rule is childish in my opinion. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you are going to play their game - you have to follow their rules. You don&#039;t have to like them and nor can you change them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
