Describing what they do as : "Numismatic conservation involves examination, scientific analysis and reliance upon an extensive base of numismatic knowledge to determine the nature of a coin’s state of preservation and the extent of any damage. Conservation also encompasses appropriate procedures to protect the coin’s original appearance and to guard against future deterioration to whatever extent possible." and more "The expertise of NCS technicians has long been needed in numismatics. Not to be confused with undesirable cleaning, proper numismatic conservation involves examination, scientific analysis and a reliance upon an extensive base of numismatic knowledge to determine the nature of a coin’s state of preservation and the extent of any damage. NCS is uniquely qualified to meet the conservation needs of the hobby." There're 1000's of posts on CoinTalk about caring for a coin's appearance. So despite all the tried and true knowledge the experts on CoinTalk have compiled what "secrets" or "proprietary knowledge" or "hocus pocus" does NCS do? And how come they make it seem they are the ONLY place on the planet that can and should do this service for you? Please educate me dear sirs.[/QUOTE]
