So they CLEAN the coin in a manner that is UNDETECTABLE... but they only slab it as "Genuine" and do NOT assign it a grade.

BUT...

there is NOTHING to STOP someone from removing the coin from the slab and then submitting it for actual GRADING once it has been cleaned.


Unless -- and I cannot tell this from reading the site -- perhaps they DO have a way of telling whether a coin submitted for grading HAS been through this cleaning process??

Just like I assume PSA would have a way of detecting "bleached" cards if they suddenly started a business that offered to "bleach and slab as authentic" all of your old cards.
