For some reason (I don't think this poster is that ignorant) he forgot to mention the conservation done IGC. That's where one of the professional numismatists who started NCS now works. Furthermore, a conservation service can do everything correct that they have done thousands of times and a particular coin may come out badly.

 

You can safely conserve any coin. It may just not be effective at improving eye appeal. Anyway you're missing the point of what I'm saying. Are there exceptions, sure. Will they sometimes recommend not doing conservation after an evaluation, sure. But if you insist on something specific they will do it, and their bar for conserving is significantly lower than one might have with their own coins.

 

Send it to me, I'll let it drag my collection down.

 

You can technically do anything safely to a coin if you dont care about the outcome.

They wont just do something because it was requested unless theres been a change for NCS. The bar may be lower, but thats different from just insisting on something being done and having it done. Unless somethings changed in the last year the three of them won’t just do something because it’s requested. Sure you could probably make a massive stink and sign waivers if it was a big enough coin, but such situations would be few and far between.

Now I think this poster is either ignorant concerning what TPGS does what or he has trouble with his English comprehension. Let's see what he actually knows.

@baseball21 What TPGS do conservation if requested? How much does each service charge to conserve a $10,000 coin?
