<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 918116, member: 24633&quot;]If NCS is able to conserve the coin completely, it is then sent to NGC for grading if that is what the submitter requests. Not all coins are necessarily sent to NGC for encapsulation. Sometimes the submitter wants the raw coin returned after conservation.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The unfortunate result of this conservation appears to be that the spot had apparently etched itself into the surface metal and could not be fully restored. NCS no longer slabs the coins since NGC now encapsulates all problem coins in a Details slab like this one.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I recall a similar occasion where a submitter had sent in a proof coin for conservation to remove a dull haze that covered the entire coin. When the haze had been successfully removed, it revealed hairlines from an improper cleaning, and NGC had no choice but to put it in a Details slab.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
