[QUOTE="Insider, post: 2476019, member: 24314"]OK, [COLOR=#b30000]this popped up as a "new post"[/COLOR] and I almost started to add my two cents immediately as I incountered misinformation and the fact that PCGS ruined the coin right from the start. As this is an interesting thread, I'm going back to read it in full. Nevertheless, take this as gospel: 1. One side of a coin CAN BE CONSERVED while the other is unmolested. Professionals do it all the time and there are proven methods to make sure the contrast between "freshly-dipped white" and the old natural surface are not too stark. 2. Conservation of specific areas and spots is possible. I have just been told I'm taking Big Money to dinner an need to get off the computer in 10 min. Checking other threads now and will return later but you din't need to know that as WHO CARES. :hilarious::hilarious::hilarious::hilarious:[/QUOTE]
