NCS before and after

[Boss-migration]

Any opinions on this conservation by NCS? I posted this coin on an earlier post as it got bodybagged at NCS after conservation (would not cross to NGC). I felt it was gradeable prior to conservation and now wouldn't/didn't due to removing the toning revealed IMO a prior cleaning. Cartwheel luster is not present but does have some luster. Any opinions? I will post several other interesting coins which graded and alternatively did not grade at NGC.

Before Conservation:

 

 

 

 

After NCS Conservation: Will this grade with PCGS or with NGC resubmission?

I think it looked lightly cleaned before the conservation, and badly cleaned afterward. I seriously doubt it would grade anywhere than ANACS. But it could get into an NCS holder with a detail grade, or after December 1st into a PCGS genuine slab .

You might not want to hold the coin in your bare hands the next time you attempt to image the piece.

I thought NCS only conserved if they felt they could improve the coin. It's hard to believe they couldn't tell this coin would not be improved. Looks cleaned before and after.

looks more NON natural after

I can't see they did much for the spot. I liked the coin better before.

I guess I am nuts but I think the coin looks better know. The faked stuff has been removed.

The coin will still BB! If the coin was cleaned before you sent the coin to NCS it is still cleaned after NCS sent the coin back! NCS can't remove hairlines etc. from an old cleaning. Once a coin is cleaned it is forever cleaned!!!

That is the risk one must assume. It's a gamble.

Tom B, I had acetone on my hands and had throughly washed them before. I never touch the face of the coin ever with my hands. I did this because I couldn't prop it properly for the light to get a good photo. I liked the coin before more the conservation as to me the cleaning wasn't as obvious. I am not that worried as it is still an attractive coin, and I will upgrade at some point. The red highlights look nice after conservation to me.
