Message:: [QUOTE="Pendragon, post: 1519776, member: 39918"]Not sure where people are saying it got cleaned I am trying to determine to send it in to NGC but I know my father and the taboo he had about cleaning..... he would not allow me to even touch them becuase it might cause them to lose color or luster.....Maybe he did something I did not know about but I did not even know they had anything you could dip into without the metal burning up in the 70's and before My great great grandfather collected when he came here and he always wrapped everything up in a small cut piece of cloth and then sewed them up back in the late1700's and early 1800's and on my fathers side they went into jewelery velvet rolls and My great grandfather on my moms side got everything directly from the San Fran Mint cause he was a VP with the railroad and knew the guy that ran the Mint and they traded out stuff all the time...like when my grandmother was born in 1895 he gave him 100 dollars in morgan dollars for her birth and they were all individually wrapped as well and then the rolls were wrapped Newspaper dated 1909[ATTACH]198343.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]198344.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
