<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1848054, member: 112&quot;]Neither the NGC nor the PCGS conservation services can &quot;fix&quot; a problem coin. But they can &quot;fix&quot; some problems with coins. There&#039;s a huge difference between those two statements and it is very important that folks understand them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Problem coins cannot be fixed, once a coin becomes a problem coin it is a problem coin forever.</p><p><br /></p><p>But a coin can have a problem like unsightly/ugly toning. Or it can be covered with dirt and grime, or it can have spots on it, things like that. The conservation services can try to fix those problems by dipping the coin, but that&#039;s all they can do. And there is no guarantee that they will fix the problem to your satisfaction, or that the coin won&#039;t end up worse than it was before you sent it to them to work on it.</p><p><br /></p><p>In fact, you can send in a graded coin to them ( a coin in a regular slab) and after they work on it that coin may be returned to you in a problem coin slab - Genuine or Details in other words. And there&#039;s nothing you can do about it. You have no recourse and are stuck with the problem coin that was previously in a graded slab. And yes, they still charge you.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, if you don&#039;t know coins really well, then you should not try sending coins in to the conservation services. If you do anyway, you may well be very disappointed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
