<p>[QUOTE=&quot;steve1942, post: 1326028, member: 21699&quot;]I have different grading question.&nbsp; I&#039;m a member of NGC.&nbsp; I have a beautiful 2009 UHF which I purchased from mint.&nbsp; When preparing to send it in, I noticed a blood red copper spot on the lower reverse.&nbsp; Contacted NGC to see if the spot would affect grade.&nbsp; They recommended I send coin to NCS for conservation, meaning removing the red spot.&nbsp; In my opinion conservation is coin altering.&nbsp; I&#039;m in a quandry.&nbsp; The red spot is the opening step of toning.&nbsp; If the present color has anything to do with it, it will be beautiful.&nbsp; I feel like holding the coin, raw, even though I won&#039;t live long enough for this natural process to take place.&nbsp; There may be a time, with the economy in its present state, that I will be forced to sell. What are your opinions of conservation?&nbsp; What are your opinions of selling/purchasing raw gold collectibles with visable copper spot.&nbsp; The spot is hidden at coin bottom, reverse and does not affect field or raised portions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
