No. Every coin they work on is a different process. Many chemicals can come into play. They know the proper way and the order the chemicals should be used to leave the surfaces of the coin stable. A simple dip or an acetone bath is not what many coins need. Some coins require a really long bath in a solution to slowly remove a problem without damaging the coin.

I'm about finished trying to help the jerks that post once asking for help and never come back or are too busy to answer questions.

@xinfantry Could you please share the grade that ANACS gave the coin?

I'm not really good at looking into how many have been graded. This is another problem coin. 1877-CC DDR. It's in an old PCI slab and turned ugly in the holder.

My opinion is no and no

I'll guess a gasket punch was used.

I'm a big fan of waiting for the right coin to come along. Something nice without major problems. I don't care for something that will be hard to sell in the future. Made that mistake many times in my early days.

The coin has been cleaned and has been in circulation. It has lost most of it's luster. It's worth the price of silver at this point. That is about $10.48 as of this morning. Nice image. It leaves little more to learn about the coin. If you don't agree, send the coin to NGC and prove the members here are wrong. Anyone with a basic understanding of this hobby will tell you it's a waste of time and money.

We all know what the OP is all about. Good chance he is a past member that had his feelings hurt and is back to cause trouble. I'm sure he will be back with more false claims.

As a normal the grader is not going to know who sent the coin in for grading. It is possible with famous coins or collections that the grader already knew who owns those coins.

Just a guess. Maybe NGC does not want two different labels out there for the same variety. I remember when the variety got it's nickname on the coin forums. I believe that was before the variety had an FS#. Can't think of many nicknames that lasted long.
