<p>[QUOTE="Phil's Coins, post: 4895314, member: 112104"]THIS IS J M O - BUT - With this cent, send it to NGC for conservation, if they cannot satisfactorily conserve it they will not, but will grade it and return it. I have had to very disturbing "conservation" attempts with PCGS and will not use them again for conservation (I have a 1938 1/2 dollar that has dirt on it that I received from my Grandfathers estate) and THE ONLY thing wrong was the dirt - prior to sending it to PCGS I took a camel hair brush and wiped most of the dirt away, sent it to them and the indicated the dirt could not be removed. Got coin back - dipped it in distilled water for a couple of minutes and guess what - the dirt they could not remove came off. PISSED! Not gonna happen again. I know, should have done it first but did not want to take chances with it due to the family value to me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
