<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Owle, post: 928433, member: 22004&quot;]I have sent in a few coins in slabs. Some they would not work on because the downside of cracking the coin out of the slab, working on it and re-slabbing it would have been a big problem.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>They lightened the toning spots on a $20 piece which made it more marketable. If you have a $20 piece with copper spots there will be a significantly lower bid on the coin if it is in an NGC or PCGS holder. If it is in an ICG, ANACS or other holder, there will be no sight unseen offer, the slabbing may do little good if you offered it to a wholesale buyer. There are Bluesheet prices for certified coins in ICG, ANACS, PCI and other holders, but I don&#039;t know who is offering those prices.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I sent a High Relief to NCS for conservation that was in a MS holder and high end. The result was not good plus they charged over $1000 all told. I would not have a high end coin conserved by NCS if you have not first had some other experts look the coin over. You may be left with a coin that is worth less and that has cost you substantial money for their service.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
