For as long as I can remember, NCS has never claimed that conservation might improve the grade. They have said that it might improve the eye...
It appears that the 5 really got mangled. Don't you agree, paddy? Chris;)
Thank you @SchwaVB57 for my 12,000th Like! Chris
Quoting someone's post is the easiest way to get that person's attention when referring to their comments. Sometimes people don't use this simple...

I'm sorry, Mickey, but I just don't see the doubling on your coin that is shown on the plate coin. The position of your lighting is washing out...
I think you will find that more and more banks will be unwilling to provide this service because of the costs related to them. It's unfortunate...
I assume that the second image is not yours. Are you trying to convince us that the first image is identical to the second image? Chris
