Actually, dipping IS a form of coin doctoring. It's just that it is looked upon very differently than other types of doctoring, and is acceptable...
So, please address this for us... A collector dips a coin in order to remove the ugly toning and make it more salable. He submits it to a major...
MIke, is that the coin I'm thinking of?
As part of their "conservation" work, NCS uses various substances/chemicals to lighten or remove toning, spots, stains, etc. from coins. And,...
I am extremely confident that NCS does not do that. You must have misunderstood whatever it was that you read.
The Quarter looks unc. to me.

I'd be stunned if it brought even close to that amount.
Doug, I of course, agree that it can be done. But not nearly to the extent stated in the post I responded to.
It hasn't been anywhere close to long enough to even consider giving the buyer a refund at this point. It sounds as if you are handling it as best...

I'm in the F15 camp, as well. Cool coin!
