<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 10167, member: 112&quot;]It&#039;s really a matter of semantics. Is there a difference between cleaned &amp; conserved ? I guess it depends on who does the cleaning or conserving. If a novice cleans a coin - the coin is likely to end up being ruined or have scratches all over the place. If a professional cleans the coin - it is called conservation. And even an expert would not be able to tell in most cases. Of course this depends on the coin and what its condition was before they started.</p><p><br /></p><p>NGC will slab and grade a coin cleaned ( or conserved if you prefer ) by NCS. I have seen many a coin before they were sent to NCS and after NCS worked their magic. The difference is often astounding. </p><p><br /></p><p>The reason the owners of the salvage companies make comments like that is because they are trying to sell the coins and they want as much profit as possible. They are after all in it for the money in most cases.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
