<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ToughCOINS, post: 2371152, member: 20480&quot;]I have only had three total coins conserved over all of my years in the hobby, and those were all coins which, after original submission for grading, the service came back to me with the recommendation to conserve.&nbsp; All three of those coins came out well.&nbsp; I expect the reason was because they voluntarily recommend conservation only for those coins where they feel the likelihood of an improved outcome are high.</p><p><br /></p><p>When a customer asks them first if a coin should be conserved, they are pretty much let off the hook, because the discussion was initiated by the customer, and not by the conservation service.</p><p><br /></p><p>In other words, I have never, of my own inclination, sent coins in for conservation.&nbsp; That is because I know of more cases of dissatisfaction than I do of favorable results.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Knowing that, I think the cost of the service should weigh much less on your mind, than likelihood of favorable outcome.&nbsp; As for my preference between the 2 services, I have none . . . my sample size of 3 coins is statistically insignificant.&nbsp; More importantly, I have used only one of the two services, and therefore have no experiential basis on which to compare them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
