<p>[QUOTE="Player11, post: 984337, member: 26725"]They did a great job on that FEC but it looks it could use some AT work. I usually do my own coin conservation but have tried them on a couple of occasions (expensive material) and the coins graded higher than before. One coin went from a $2500 coin to a $4500 coin and I sold it in that $4500 range a couple weeks after getting it back.</p><p> </p><p>I like to dip coins in Jewel Luster and work any spots with a Q Tip soaked in Dip (a sort of tap tap tap) which eventually will get the spot off as the dip eventually eats away that layer of metal. Sort of like a Dermatologist treating a basal cell area with a scrape and burn. I bet they had to really work on that FEC, what a joke it was with the spots in the 64 holder - I grade coins like that MS 60 and value them at zero in the appraisal / offer calculation TPG cert or not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
