Streaked toning!

I have a 1934-D small D NGC MS65 Buffalo Nickel with streaked toning on the reverse. I was wondering if NCS could re-move the streaks and if you could remove them would or could that change the grade (upgrade) of the coin? Then this might be better left alone?

It is possible that the streakiness on the reverse of your nickel could be improved. Buffalo nickels are encountered with streaks similiar to yours that are in the planchet. When the streak is due to poor metal alloy and thus in the planchet, conservation may lighten their appearance but they will remain. Other times the streaks are due to residues or unattractive toning. It is difficult to determine which kind of streaks are on your coin from the image. I would suggest submitting your coin for a full evaluation to determine for certain.
