<p>[QUOTE="KBBPLL, post: 15762197, member: 104064"]After no progress since my last post, I received a message from Paul today, with a question about one of my coins. I logged in and noted that all the denominations had been updated this morning. I know this because I've logged in every day since submitting, to see if anything changed. Paul called again. The question is regarding my profile coin, 1947 50c ML CR Specimen, the most valuable of the bunch. PCGS had given this UNC Details - Cleaned. I strongly disagree. Paul said they agree that it is not cleaned, but they think there's a thin layer of lacquer on it. So he was asking my permission to remove the lacquer. I asked what they use and he said he doesn't know. He said the conservation guy is very good and extremely picky, etc. Worst case is the lacquer removal causes it to be considered "cleaned", but he said the chance was very low. I said go ahead and do it. He hinted that if all goes well it might be SP65, which would please me to no end, but we'll see. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now I'm curious if anyone has had lacquer removed, and how it went. I did not see the lacquer myself, but I don't know what that looks like. Anyway, figured I'd update the topic.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
