<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnandsasha, post: 2864912, member: 90215&quot;]As a personal rule when I join a forum I will always contribute to others before I ask others to contribute to me. Today I am breaking my own rule in hopes of obtaining some much needed and fairly time constrained advice.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have found a 1990 no S proof Lincoln cent still in mint packaging on eBay. The cent itself has some corrosion on the rim but it looks like the trained hands at either PCGS or NCS could successfully remove the corrosion. My biggest worry is they cannot remove it. My second biggest worry is I wind up with a details graded 1990 no S cent that essentially makes me the owner of damaged coin that will not have the long term value of the numerically graded coins of the same type. </p><p><br /></p><p>The coin in question is priced at $2,450. After preservation and encapsulation my assumed total investment would be around $2,800. I know the recent discovery of another 1990 no S cent brought market values down and created a grand opportunity to buy the coin. This particular coin could make it even more grand. That is if it can be restored and numerically graded.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any advice from members will be greatly appreciated. I apologize for joining a forum simply to probe the members but this is the kind of purchase where I want to obtain as many opinions as I can.</p><p><br /></p><p>eBay auction number:362086861147</p><p><br /></p><p>For what it&#039;s worth, the seller and I have conducted many dozens of transactions over the years and I have no issues completing a transaction this large with them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
