That is exactly what happened and I did not clean the coin. I dipped in mineral oil and dabbed off. NO WIPING whatsoever, and in fact I told them prior to conservation (in multiple conversations with Danielle over there) that all my coppers I sent in had mineral oil on them.&nbsp; 6 of them graded (in case some people feel I can&#039;t competently dab off mineral oil as a newbie- I know what it is to rub and dab- my profession involves the use of detailed fine motor coordination tasks).&nbsp; Stored in airtight in low humidity in ziplock. I still haven&#039;t heard back from NCS. I spoke with Craig over there and he is very nice. I feel my coin has significantly devalued.</font></font></p><p><font face="Century Gothic"><font size="3">To Borgovan, the toning absolutely covered up the hairlines. It was brown as you see in the slab and no different out of the slab when I sent to NCS. I will post NCS&#039;s response once they get back to me. Once again, not to put down NCS. They know 100X more than I do about conservation, but I do feel this was a big screw up. My invoice stated that regrading with NGC was absolute top priority and conservation to be done only if it would help. :goof:<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></font></font></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Century Gothic"><font size="3">PS: I would post my 1869 unc coin that they did they same too, but I would be too depressing.&nbsp; I don&#039;t want to wait 20 years by the way.&nbsp; I would like to enjoy this coin or sell it and not dispise it as I do now.&nbsp; Doug are you out there.&nbsp; He said in another posts he has seen coins tone in a matter of weeks.&nbsp; HELP??</font></font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
