  1. Julio I would first start by getting yourself a Red Book of United States coins.  this will have a ton of information for you.  but if you wish to find out what you have there is worth NGC has a price guide here: https://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide/united-states/ and welcome to the forum.  you will find the guys here very knowledgeable. a bit sarcastic at times but them men well.

    I do not see NCS using any restoration techniques or products that would have resulted in the now obvious hairlines.   As others have opined the most likely scenario is that during the restoration the old cleaning was uncovered.

    The CoinBuff is correct.  Conservation does not constitute "CLEANED".  this happened prior to them conserving your coin and it has been "restored" to the best possible condition.  the cleaning happened years before and will still be present when conserved..

    oin, stamp, and

    Stamp collection....  I used to be heavy into stamp collecting..   the only thing no one even sends snail mail anymore.   well anyway i found myself more and more involved with my coins then i did with my stamps and the collection sat un attended for years.  i decided to unload them knowing that i would never get what i put into them back.   I got a hold of Mystic Stamp and they sent the boxes i took one last time to look at  them and sent them away.  they only thing most dealers are interested in is the back of the Book stuff mostly air mails and revenues.   If you have anything with in the first 200 Scott numbers in mint they are interested and or the Columbians and Zeppelins.   Anything after around 1930 you only get face value if they are mint so be prepared for that.  I did have a lot of early stuff in the 1 - 100 range so i did make a little money back.  i by no means broke even with the way the declining stamp prices have been since the late 90's   there is still money to be made with the rare ones but that is few and far between..  hope it helps
