Redfield 1926-S NCS Conservation Results

So, a while back, I bought this coin in it's original Redfield Holder:

The coin was low MS-ish, but had sublime toning from it's original Redfield holder.

 

Also taking away from it's appearence, IMO, was numerous 'milk' spots on the obverse.

 

So, after sending in for grading, those milk spots were determined to be PVC, and my coin was bodybagged.

 

Off to NCS it went.

 

So after waiting for what seemed like an eternity, i got the results back!

No picture has been posted yet though, so I don't know if the Redfield pedigree was retained or not, or how the coin now looks.

 

She will return to Mark Goodman in due time for some new shots when I get it back.

 

Stoked!

My guess is the Redfield pedigree is gone. If it wasn't I would have expected to see it on the Variety/Pedigree space. Also when it went to NCS was it in the Redfield holder? If not the pedigree is gone. Even if it was you would probably have had to ASK to retain the pedigree on the submission.

 

And until it gets back it is a bit premature to discuss conservation results. After all will you be happy with these "results" if the coin is blast white when you get it back?

 

I also wonder where a coin that has probably never been in a PVC holder picked up PVC residue.

Good points Conder. I'm also looking forward to seeing the new pics myself. I had presumed that any type of milk spotting was almost non-removeable. I'm wondering if this wasn't some other type of contamination also. I would almost goes as far to say that the toning is probably no more also unless the PVC was removed via/acetone conservation.

Good points all.

 

I specifically asked that they didnt remove any toning

 

 

I also requested the redfield pedigree, and stated i could provide proof.

 

Images should be up soon. :wishluck:

Congrats !! Strong money for an MS62 but a very nice coin.... Hopefully she doesnt come back blast white... which I doubt it will... so score for you !

 

If the coin comes back blast white I may hang myself.

 

Maybe even create my own Hard Time Token.

I hope the best for you, but with a book value for that grade, was the overall cost of shipping, conservation and encasement of plastic worth it?

 

For an ordinary 1926-S in MS62 condition, easily not worth it.

 

But for a Redfield pedigreed coin with borderline monster obverse toning, for which I paid a significant premium for, it was well worth the $70 I spent on conservation and encapsulation.

is that $70 including the shipping and grading fees from when it body bagged?

The initial grading was part of a bulk submission.

 

Regardless, as long as I am comfortable paying the money to conserve and protect my collectibles, it really doesn't matter what you, or any other penny-pinching bean-counting cost-benefit analyst thinks.

Good attitude about cost. :applause: This is a hobby for many of us and the money won't always be recouped. I spend money on grading, submitting to CAC, buying conservation supplies, shipping, insurance, oh God I may be sick. :makepoint:

 

Anyway, $70 sounds cheap for NCS. I hope you like the results! :acclaim:

Of course without the Redfield holder it really doesn't have a Redfield Premium even if it is on the label.

 

I hope it comes back well for you, and I await pictures.

Assuming it doesn't come back with Redfield pedigree, i have enough documentation and proof to have them reholder it at the upcoming Baltimore Whitman show.

What kind of proof? About the only thing think they might accept would be a good picture of the coin in the Redfield holder with features showing that definately fingerprinted that speciftc coin. And if it comes back from NCS looking too different that might make it difficult to convince them.

Would they even accept that in today's photoshop kinda world ?

If a coin was not submitted in the Redfield-Paramount holder (or GSA or whatever) it will not be noted as such on the label. The authentication service must be able to verify the provenance, and the only way to do that is for them to open the slab/sealed pack-aging themselves.

Gents, I originally sent the coin in the original Redfield holder, when the proceeded to crack it out and bodybag it.

 

My only proof of provenance now is the original ebay auction, as well as pictures I have of the coin in the holder.

 

If I lose the pedigree... oh well, I still have a nice coin.

 

Just checked, they finally posted the pics, and the color is thankfully still there.

Now I have one more to send in for NCS and I will be good.

 

This coin is currently in a Details holder for environmental damage.

I think a reverse dip will solve that problem and get her in a 63 holder.

 

Will I end up spending $70 to conserve a coin I bought for $100?

 

Yes.

 

Do I care what anyone thinks regarding the financial logic there?

 

No.

Nice! ^^

 

As to the cost, it's your $70. Feel free to spend it as you please. I know I've got $500 in a some $300 coins. (thumbs u

 

I live near two casinos and many spend $70 a week in them having "fun". That's their choice too. Life's not ALL about money. :whee:

Well said FishyOne.

 

One thing I can't stand is when people nitpick others who send widgets in for grading.

 

It's a valuable learning experience.
