<p>[QUOTE=&quot;USS656, post: 1265744, member: 6641&quot;]That was exactly my thought Jim! To take all of the damage off the coin would have cost more than they were willing to commit to. Part of what is still nice about the coin is the luster that remains. How many coins have we seen that have no luster left? Hopefully they stabilized the surface so that it does not get worse. It may even look a little worse than it did prior to the conservation (the spotting is a little more apparent) but hopefully it will not get worse. Still a damaged coin because someone did not know what they were doing and risked a MS coin to try and alter the surface. I could produce photos of it that still look like the first couple, but the coin is what it is.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;The reason for the thread is to think about what you would hope to fix prior to sending to NCS. It is like the &quot;how far is bad toning threads.&quot; Once you get to a certain point, the damage is done and cannot be fixed even by the experts.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Also photos even without software manipulation can hide significant damage.&nbsp; Understand the risk!&nbsp; I can take pictures of this coin that would hide most of the issues!</p><p><br /></p><p>Be awear and learn from what is out there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
