Ok, just got a bag of Clad proof Ikes, I know NCS cleans certain coins do?

[Yaha]

No major nicks or scratches.

 

Here's the issue... Toning on them, that's all, no nasty field spots, just a tan/creme toning.. Any way of cleaning these boogers right without being called a coin doctor or screwing them up?

 

Or, will NCS clean them for a fee.. thanks NGC collectors..

 

Common Dates S-mints.. 30- 1976 type 1.. 74/75/77/78.. They are quite nice.. I really don't like IKES and 19yds would verify this.. .... Got 53 of them for $86+juice/tax total was $94.00.

 

BTW, just sold 10 of them for $75 to a dude after the auction. He was mad that his bid sheet didn't say 53. Mine did..

 

What are they really worth in 66+ condition?

Are they all S mints? I'm looking for a 1977 P and 71, 72, 76 S mints (not silver) to complete my Ike collection.. most of mine are from circulating coins although a few are BU's.

About $14 a piece for the proofs.

Nothing wrong with dipping. The TPG's do it all the time.

 

Give it 5 seconds in EzEst, rinse well in distilled water, air dry.

 

Toning gone.

...they do? all coins or just silver or just problem coins or what?

I agree.

No, not all coins of course. It's done for a variety of reasons. One of the most common is to conserve a coin that has spoiled in the holder. If it can be successfully saved then there's no guarantee payout.

 

They have done it for me on silver and copper. Spots and ugly tarnish have been removed as well as verdigris.

 

Many collectors routinely dip silver coins before submitting them for grading. The most important things are to not overdo it and to rinse the coin properly.

If you are going to dip these coins, I would use MS70 and not EzEst. MS70 will not acid damage the coin's surfaces.

No but the thread about what MS70 does to copper showed that it was a strong base (Ph somewhere around 13.5) so I would be concerned about it's effects if overdone as well. Bases can be just as corrosive as acids.

When you submitted the coins for conservation, were they labeled 'cleaned' on the holders afterwards?

Sending them to be worked on by NCS seems like an excellent way to waste money.

Condor, an oversight on my part, I was not thinking about cents and MS70 specifically.
