Ancient Coin Conservation

[eminentreturn-migration]

Hi. We have a 386-307 BC Corinth Silver Stater that we want conserved and encapsulated . The NCS site says it isn't eligible. What would you recommend us to do?

 

Thanks,

Eminent Return, Inc.

While ancient coins are not eligible for encapsulation with NCS just as they are not with NGC, they are eligible for conservation. We could conserve your ancient coin. We would not be able to encapsulate your coin.

Okay thanks, we will want to do that. If we can't get it encapsulated then how would you recommend that we store it after conservation? In a coin flip?

 

 

Thanks again.

Ancient coins usually do not fit into most commercially available coin holders. If you do use a coin flip, be sure that is a non-PVC or hard type flip. Paper envelopes have been popular with ancient collectors as well. Be sure that any envelopes you use are free of sulfur and acid as both chemicals can damage your coins in long-term storage.
