NCS conserved my coin

[moondoggy]

First time and I was jamming

 

Greetings everyone;

Well, I submitted my first coin to NCS for conservation and then on to NGC for grading. Since it was my first time dealing with NCS I went in with hopes of salvaging something better than what I was submitting. Oh my was the first words out of my mouth when the coin arrived today and I had my first look at their work.

I have attached a before and after photo for all to see but even the before photo doesn't really show how bad this coin was. It had these "black" spots on the obverse and reverse that looked awful, besides the overall haze. I really thought I was going to get a call with, I'm sorry there is nothing we can do for this coin. Not only did they make it look like it just came out of a fresh proof set from the mint but it graded at NGC as well with regular label !!!!! WOW, I am still in awe of everyone's work at NCS. Well done everyone at NCS, you made my day, week and month and I must admit what a great birthday present as well.

If you have a special coin that needs help do not hesitate sending it in to NCS.

Hope everyone has a great week.

take care my friends...........

I was pleased with my NCS experience as well... of course, you could have put the original coin on eBay and labelled it with 'Gorgeous Toning'..

Wow, the difference is between night and day. I cannot tell from the before picture that your coin was a proof coin. Mike, you hit the jackpot on that coin, congratulations!

Mike,

 

I'm very familiar with your feelings - had the same experience with NCS. It's an unbelievable transformation.

 

Nice coin!

Great decision and a SMOOTH move Mike. The Frank looks great.

I am planning to do a few later on this year. I sure hope I have the same results.

Nice!! Now I have to send my 1954 Frankie to NCS. I popped open the mint box a few years ago and boy, was that Frankie ugly. Nasty toning!! I think Im going to follow your lead and send mine in with the hopes they can save it.

Sweet, I've got a nice 1918 Mercury Dime that NGC bodybagged a couple of years ago due to ink stains on the reverse. Betcha they can conserve that little gem as well. Gonna have to give it a try. Thanks for sharing Moondoggy!
