<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 2106289, member: 112"]I think part, a large part, of the reason that people don't understand how something like this could happen is because they don't realize what NCS, or any other "conservation service", actually does. To put into simple terms, all they do is to either rinse the coin in a harmless chemical, (like acetone as an example), or dip the coin. That's it, plain and simple. They don't do anything else. And if done correctly, and yes they know how to do it correctly, then no harm can be done to the coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>That said, any harm that was done to the coin before they ever even laid eyes on it, may be revealed by what they do.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any time anyone rinses a coin, dips a coin, or otherwise properly cleans a coin - it is a crap shoot, every single time. That is because you never know what lies underneath what you are trying to remove. It may turn out well, or it may turn out very bad.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
