<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robec, post: 5669454, member: 19094&quot;]10 years ago I acquired a 1911 MPL graded by PCGS as PR65BN. The reverse was without any problems, but the obverse had gunk in the letters much like your large cent. I sent the coin to PCGS for spot review, thinking they would take the coin out of the slab and get a good look at the problem.</p><p><img src="http://www.robecsimages.com/photos/Home/1911_spot_review/1911_DH_note.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>I took a gamble and sent it to NGC for conservation and grading. </p><p><br /></p><p>They did a great job restoring the coin. The coin actually received a 1 point upgrade to PR66BN.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.robecsimages.com/photos/Home/1911_spot_review/1911_Date.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="http://www.robecsimages.com/photos/Home/1911_spot_review/1911_Liberty.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="http://www.robecsimages.com/photos/Home/1911_spot_review/1911_In_God.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.robecsimages.com/photos/Home/1911_spot_review/1911_Obv_Before.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="http://www.robecsimages.com/photos/Home/1911_spot_review/1911_Obv_after.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="http://www.robecsimages.com/photos/Home/1911_spot_review/1911_Rev_Before.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="http://www.robecsimages.com/photos/Home/1911_spot_review/1911_Rev_After.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
