<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JCro57, post: 3195923, member: 92083&quot;]I picked these Clad layers up a while ago, but I noticed after I took photographs with a high definition macro lens that these two coins had PVC on the obverse on both of them. It really bothered me, so I inquired about the conservation service at NGC.</p><p><br /></p><p>I learned a couple things. Number one, in addition to paying the conservation fee, you also have to pay to have it regraded.</p><p>Number two, it adds about an additional month to get your coins back. Number three, though I was not expecting it, removing the PVC did not improve the grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>I will have to see if the PVC comes back, but I doubt it (or maybe it was it slabbed with it on there?) Anyway, it was very well worth it. I cannot believe how great these look! And the PVC is gone!</p><p><br /></p><p>Top photo before, bottom photo after</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]825965[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]825966[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]825967[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]825968[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I have had glasses issued recently, and can see better. Those tiny specs of PVC won&#039;t get by me now for awhile. And I have since refused to buy coins even if I really love them if they have any on them (I just don&#039;t think knowingly buying them with PVC to then submit to have them cleaned is worth it. But in this case, it was). Nice job, NGC!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]825971[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
