<p>[QUOTE=&quot;illini420, post: 1247638, member: 19423&quot;]I had an NGC MS64 Flying Eagle Cent that grew spots all over the obverse that I sent into NGC appearance review in the hopes I may be compensated under their guarantee since no one would ever pay me MS64 money for the coin.&nbsp; Before discussing compensation, NGC asked if they could try sending the coin to NCS first, then have it regraded w/ NGC.&nbsp; I agreed and NCS fixed up the coin and it regraded MS64.&nbsp; They removed all of the offensive spotting but they also really brightened up the coin and I didn&#039;t like it too much.&nbsp; But I also had no problem selling it as an MS64 for MS64 money.&nbsp; NGC/NCS didn&#039;t charge me anything either, not even shipping costs.&nbsp; They were great to deal with I think.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s a pic pre-conservation:</p><p><img src="http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm111/illini420/1857fems64obv.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>And post-conservation:</p><p><img src="http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm111/illini420/1857obv03.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>You can read more about this story over on Collector&#039;s Universe where I originally wrote about it a couple of years ago:&nbsp; <a href="http://forums.collectors.com/messageview.cfm?catid=26&amp;threadid=687635" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://forums.collectors.com/messageview.cfm?catid=26&amp;threadid=687635" rel="nofollow">http://forums.collectors.com/messageview.cfm?catid=26&amp;threadid=687635</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
