One sided NCS conservation result

[Davids5104]

I had a Franklin half that I wanted to get conserved.  I had the reverse done.  Listed below are the before and after

these images do not do it complete justice.  The fingerprint across the bell is much improved.  The color is also much more muted.  The new, conserved coin is the Top image.  I did this for the hope the coin would receive a STAR due to the amazing obverse this coin has.

From the images I see little or no improvement. And a piece I would pay melt for. To me it has no eye appeal at all.

The color on the reverse is too dark on the newly conserved image.  It is quite a bit lighter than the original.  I will take my own photo for reference.  I personally enjoy the obverse but the reverse was less appealing for sure

I don't see the difference.... 

The obverse is really nice, but I hate fingerprint toning so I'd avoid this piece myself. The reverse precludes this coin ever getting a star. 

What holder is the coin in? That's not an NGC holder.

newly in NGC, crossed from PCGS.  Yeah the fingerprint was awful... that was the reason to conserve.  here are some pics from myself.  If any of you were wondering, its a straight MS-66.  my photos are a much better representation of its appearance which is why I was please with the result.
