<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtis, post: 24774406, member: 26430&quot;]Thanks for sharing the NCS link, I hadn&#039;t looked at their services before. (Though I saw them doing shipwreck coins on a tv show once.)</p><p><br /></p><p>The big question is whether that&#039;s just a huge de-lamination across Gordian&#039;s face (and the field under his chin). I doubt they can do anything about that, but maybe I&#039;m wrong.</p><p><br /></p><p>If they just use thiosulfate or another chemical dip to remove the black crusty stuff, they&#039;re going to strip all the toning. This coin won&#039;t look good bright. (Unless the stuff I&#039;m seeing as lamination goes away somehow. I mean, it&#039;s an &quot;error coin,&quot; so it doesn&#039;t have to beautiful, I think it looks fine for what it is.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, I would think the best thing for it would be some very skilled mechanical cleaning (probably with some chemical help) to remove the black crusty stuff. But that would take a long time and cost a lot more than what they&#039;re listing for prices on their website.</p><p><br /></p><p>I didn&#039;t vote because I could see it going either way, but I imagine it would be more involved &amp; expensive than their basic listed services.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
