[QUOTE="princeofwaldo, post: 1245820, member: 24091"][b]Has anyone ever used NCS? What were your results? Would you send this one in?[/b] Very curious about other collectors experience with sending coins in for conservation. NCS is probably the leader in that sort of thing, or at least they seem to advertise the most. Have you ever had a coin come back looking nastier than when it was sent in? Any idea if they charge you just to look at it if there's nothing they can do? I have an 1938 Egypt 100 Piastres that I was thinking of sending in. NGC MS62, it was part of the Eliasberg collection and so noted on the holder. From a straight-on perspective the coin is a magnificent cameo semi-prooflike uncirculated. However, when held at an angle, especially in day light, there appears to be a dark "handlebar mustache" shaped dark spot. Not sure if it is just a break in the luster and I need to live with it, or if it's something that can actually be corrected by someone who know's what they are doing. Thanks in advance for any advice. [ATTACH]133826.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]133827.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]133828.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
