<p>[QUOTE="kccoinguy, post: 1937642, member: 32075"]I’ve been working with a couple of dealers because I’d like to get some of my rarer modern silver coins graded. One of them recommended using the PCGS restoration service even though my coins do not have any noticeable spots or undesirable toning. He said the process will stabilize the coin and remove any dust as well as help prevent spotting/toning. I talked to another dealer and he said that submitting the coins for restoration would be foolish. You would only submit them for restoration after they develop any issues.</p><p>I wanted to see what PCGS had to say, so contacted their customer support. The first representative said that they most like would not restore a coin if it didn’t have any issues with it. I called them again later and spoke to a different representative. This one said that they can normally find something (e.g. dust) and will restore the coin even though there are not any major issues.</p><p>So, I’m not sure what to do at this point. These are fairly rare coins and I’d like to preserve them the best way possible. I read the PCGS guarantee and it does not cover white spots. Does anyone have any experience with this or advice? I’m not sure what to do at this point.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
