<p>[QUOTE="Boss, post: 497601, member: 15110"]Thanks Ksparrow, </p><p>I think they do state this in some form of verbage, but my explict written and verbal instructions on the invoice was that grading at NGC was top priority and to conserve only if it would benefit (specifically for this coin, because I had my doubts about it benefiting). I was submitting other coins that needed conservation, so I was fine to have them evaluate this one. This is where I am frustrated. I will be calling them Monday and working to get a refund or partial buyback. Their customer service is quite good, so I think they will work out something. That is my beef with NCS is that I was a little guy to them (first submission) and I don't think they took the time to read my invoice carefully or properly evaluate this coin. I do find it interesting how several people who have replied have not read my post carefully (not referring to you Ksparrow) and thrown up an immediate negative judgement. SHOULD I HAVE CRACKED OUT THE COIN?? <font size="3"><span style="color: red">NO<font size="2"><span style="color: black">. However, no harm was done to the coin between the crack out and sending to NCS. That coin had deep previous hairlines that had toned over. I would think they use powerful magnification (100x+) to determine this kind of stuff. My loope only goes to 20 x magnification. I am learning all the time. I will eventually buy a better one and try to have them buy back on naturally tone and it will eventually look better. That is all I can do.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />:headbang:</span></font></span></font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
