[QUOTE="Kirkuleez, post: 2106183, member: 36864"]Not really, they agreed to take another look at it, but it came back PR details again. I cracked it out about a year later and got back a PR-64 so I left well enough alone. Sorry, long gone. The spot was pretty well removed though the underlying surface showed that it was there. Still looked much better than it did. I would add that I have sent probably over fifty coins through NCS (both proofs and business strikes) and have been relatively successful in upgrading the coins. Sometimes they come back the same grade and sometimes they gain a point. My 1885 3CN actually gained three points. It went from a PCGS MS-61 to an NGC MS-64. I still like the service, but would suggest that you are careful about what you send. If there may be surface damage under what you are trying to remove, or cleaning may bring out an old cleaning, keep it as it is. Not all conservers and evaluators are created equal.[/QUOTE]
