<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2554679, member: 1892&quot;]Those both make my mouth water, as someone who enjoys the conservation process, but either are <b>huge</b> risks in terms of potential for success. Moreso the 1886 if I&#039;m reading the surfaces correctly from your images; it looks more advanced in the progression. The 1898 has its&#039; own poroblem with the thickness of the patina at the edges. I wonder if it turned in the slab. Neither are candidates for just plain dipping to me. It&#039;d require a multifaceted approach combining both electrochemical reduction and maybe physical removal.</p><p><br /></p><p>NCS has a <b>ton</b> of experience with Morgans. Although they&#039;ve screwed up a few in their past, these seem like pretty straightforward jobs for them and I&#039;d be cautiously optimistic about the chances. That said, you&#039;re not gaining a bunch of value in either case, even if the 1898 goes to 64DPL. I&#039;d take the chance if they were mine, but if <b><i>I</i></b> were taking the chance they wouldn&#039;t ever leave the house. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
