I am satisfied that the streaks that NCS put on the coin originally have been removed, so that at least the coin is significantly more aesthetically pleasing at first look than it was the first time. So in that respect, NCS did a good job of this, and I give kudos to Craig at NCS for talking to me and dealing with this. I actually received this on Tuesday, but put off taking pics until today due to other things going on in my life. </p><p><br /></p><p>The coin is not the same as originally, and still is less than it was originally, grade wise, and so will never have the potential value of the coin when sent in raw. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here are the pics, followed by the first time NGC conserved it, and the original raw coin as sent in. I have learned a valuable lesson, in that copper coins (and Zincolns, too) have a potential to have disastrous results of &quot;conservation&quot;. And from comments from people here, there really is no way to predict it, and professional conservation may be no better than something someone might do to clean up a coin at their own home. In this case the coin clearly was diminished; it went from a R to a RB in color, and is at least one, possibly two points lower than it was originally --- all as a result of the conservation. However, NCS did ameliorate the coin to some extent on the second go round.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
