<p>[QUOTE="Owle, post: 1783910, member: 22004"]I showed the coin to Tom Keenan today, the Colonial and EAC expert. He said the coin just appeared dirty to him, not damaged; he recommended using petroleum jelly to dab on and expertly remove the surface issue. My guess is that NCS will punt when they do not want to take the risk or if there is too much work involved as with all the different metallic compositions; copper-nickel or bronze. Silver is different than gold which are substantially different than the cents, half cents and two cent coins. Definitely a tough area for those used to dealing in the silver and gold coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
