    Acetone and Verdi-Care worked wonders on this SLQ.

    What do you think?

    Haven't had time for good pics. Just iPhone pics for now.

    It's only "conservation" if a TPG does it. :p

    That's easily an XF maybe AU coin.

    Looks like a BU slider in hand but SLQ aren't my strong suit.

    BU SLQs are quite rare and always go for at least three figures.

    On numerous occasions I've "conserved" lower tier TPG graded "premium" coins, which when submitted to the "premier" TPG, received a higher grade.

    In your opinion, would that be acceptable "conservation"? Regardless, the "Price Guide" value of the TPG often increased multiple 4 figure amounts, so I value/accept their believed Paramount opinion.

    JMHO

    Well yes, as long as they ward off the evil spirits with mumbling and smudging smoke.
