<p>[QUOTE=&quot;princeofwaldo, post: 1583702, member: 24091&quot;]That is pretty consistent with my experience on the 2 Pence.&nbsp; Would I have paid twice as much for the coin with the expectation that NCS would be able to fix the coin?&nbsp; Not a chance.&nbsp; In fact, the whole thing has to be entered into with the understanding that the coin might be destroyed in the conservation process.&nbsp; NCS will never tell you that is a possibility, but to send the coin in to be messed with without assuming some risk of a bad outcome would be folly.&nbsp; That said, the key is to find a coin that is worth hundreds in nice condition, purchase it for a fraction of that because it has &quot;issues&quot; then take a chance on the conservation turning the coin into something that can be slabbed and resold at a significant profit.&nbsp; To be sure, there are plenty of collectors who consider a slab as a zero value-add on a coin.&nbsp; But anyone who has bought and especially sold coins online can tell you the slab makes a huge difference on price realized when sold at auction.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
