Message:: [QUOTE="Ciscokid, post: 37511, member: 1932"]I guess the real question should be if NCS does "preservation work" and sent on to NGC is there any mention of this? In my opinion I don't think anything is mentioned. If you look at the work they have done from let say this last sunken ship's the SS Republics gold & silver coins, no mention is on the slab that these items were "restored" or cleaned. But the buyer better assume that some work was done since those coins were in salt water for over 100 years. Now we will get into semantics, is sending a coin off to get preserved cleaning? Since I do not know what is done in this process, for me it is hard to say. I understand that some of the processes they use is secret. I do not know of any other organization that does what NCS does, do you? Perhaps they do not use any chemicals at all? The metals in whatever case is not physically touched or altered. Perhaps they use electronic means. Who knows, all I do know is that they are very good at it. Now I would not use this process on any old coin, it would have to be a very special coin before I would go thru the process. Remember, in this case there will be 2 fees involved, the NCS fee, then the NGC fees-- <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
