Help with this 1928 Peace Dollar

This 1928 Peace Dollar looks to be a better grade but wondering if anyway to get this black stuff off the obverse? Acetone and if so what the the procedure for doing this so I don't ruin the coin? Thanks in advance. Oops..Forgot the pictures..coming up.

Flyers - the coin seems to have nice luster but under those spots only. Can you tell fi those are on over the surface or in the metal?
I'd like it a lot if those were not on it.

 

Thanks Duke. It's appears to be on the metal but not 100 percent for sure. Not sure if this is a job for me or send it off to NCS to see if they can do anything with it.

 

I'd think with the upside potential of that coin I'd try NCS.

 

I think so also. Going to post it to the NCS board and see what they say. Thanks!

 

glad to help.

 

NCS. It is likely an MS62/63 now, but without the ugly spots, it's maybe an MS66/67 range coin.

 

NCS will make the most of this coin. It is your best hope, IMHO

 

Thanks Mike.

 

With those hits around DOLLAR on the reverse? It's very nice, but 66/67?

 

I was thinking high AU for this one but Peace dollars are tougher for me to grade then Morgans.

 

IMO, the coin has potential to be a 64 after NCS/NGC is finished with it. Considering the value of this coin. I'd send it in for conservation.

Thanks Bruce. I just mailed it off to NCS. I will be sure to post an picture when I get it back.

 

Weird. This coin has been at NCS since March 4. I saw yesterday Scheduled for grading with NGC. Today I saw Quality Control and now it has switched back to Scheduled for Grading. First time I have ever seen that. I wonder if it got kicked back from quality control?

 

I think what you may be seeing is an overlap of posting the QC at NCS and the scheduling process at NGC.

I think you may be right Chris. Hopefully they will have the grade posted tomorrow. Now the big question will it be a details grade or not.

 

Is the NCS the best choice for this service? I don't think that neither NGC or PCGS offers this, do they?

 

NCS is a coin conservation service. Part of the group with NGC. Here is the website:

Thanks for the reply. I guess I should know this since I'm a member of the NGC Collector Society! I just never had anything that I needed this service for.
