No. And that's perfectly logical and understandable because there are way too many times that whatever you are asking to have removed from the coin is covering up something that could not be seen until was removed. For example, if a coin is darkly/heavily toned and you have them remove it, excessive hairlines and or scratches could be revealed underneath that toning that previously could not be seen thus rendering the coin a problem coin that cannot be given a clean grade.[/QUOTE]
