<p>[QUOTE="cplradar, post: 5386133, member: 108985"]And over dipped coins come on the market all the time, often and peoples fustrations. The Metropolitian Museum has a directory of about 75 worldwide trusted vendors for conservation in a variety of media. They themselves have a fabulous conservation department which is world renown. Conservation goes beyond dipping which just removes mild surface toning. They use xrays and fluorescence to examine materials. They have chemical labs, and are constantly searching for new chemicals and materials to clean surfaces (and repaint). They handle coins, but they also handle textiles, ceramic, glass, wood, and stone. Up and down 5th Avenue there are about 12 trusted conservatories. I just thought that with the billions of dollars spent in coins, that such would be the case in the coin business. a 100 year old coin sitting in an envelop is one problem. A 400 year old coin in a ship wreck is another problem. A 14 hundred year old coin found in the Judean desert, yet a different problem for conservation.</p><p><br /></p><p>Do you have any contacts in NCG? We would like to talk with them.
