<p>[QUOTE=&quot;princeofwaldo, post: 1583495, member: 24091&quot;]Hard to say, this being the first coin I have sent in to NCS.&nbsp; But in the case of this particular coin, the green crud was not PVC damage, was actually a very thin coat of corrosion on the surface of the coin.&nbsp; Hard to say how stable it was prior to being removed.&nbsp; Could be the coin has been like that for 175 years but all the damage occurred many years ago.&nbsp; In any case, they did remove the green crud, and there is no way of knowing how they did it, all proprietary.&nbsp; Could be they just dropped the coin in acetone for all I know.&nbsp; One of the concerns I had prior to sending it in, was that removing the crud would reveal a pink surface underneath made of raw untoned copper.&nbsp;&nbsp; Did they remove the crud then artificially retone the area affected?&nbsp; Who knows.&nbsp; But I think the coin really does look nicer overall, and for what ever reason I have so far had a great deal of difficulty getting the coin photographed in such a way that it resembles in-hand appearance.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think anyone who was unaware it had been conserved would notice anything funny going on with the coin.&nbsp; Looks like a solid (for the grade) coin that should fetch considerably more than the $125 that has been spent on it so far.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
