<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Boss, post: 513445, member: 15110&quot;]I think it is insanely cool you inherited such a great coin.&nbsp; I had a bad experience with NCS, but you may have a different one.&nbsp; Several key dates had the toning removed to reveal a prior cleaning (hairlines), etc. and now my 1914 D won&#039;t grade and has to sit in an album forever, trying to safely retone it.&nbsp; I believe in conservation via mineral oil and a rose thorn.&nbsp; NCS uses some solution that changes the color of their copper coins - all of my indians/lincolns they conserved turned bluish/violet colors, and in fact some of the verdigris they removed that looked like rust is coming back.&nbsp; This takes a lot of practice which I do 3-4x/wk on low value wheats and have done on more valueable coins with good results.&nbsp; Just my opinion and experience.&nbsp; Not telling you what you should do, but that is what I would do with that coin and then send to get graded to one of the top 4 graders.&nbsp; Most do not agree with this advice however, I recognize.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
