Enlighten me as to the practices of NCS with their conservation/cleaning methods. I have absolutely no problem with people cleaning their own coins for their own collection (some people just have to have them shiny) it is a shame that they do it and is generally detectable when eventually offered for sale. I do however have a problem with people "prettying up" a coin to give it the illusion of being a better grade than it actually is for the sole purpose of selling the coin for a higher price. Just because NCS conserve/clean coins it doesn't make it an accepted practice in my view. No offence intended 54dollarcoin I just simply do not agree with your philosophy in regards to cleaning coins prior to sale. |

Please go to the Ngccoin.com web page and see the services that they offer in regards to conserving coins. BTW conserving coins and cleaning them abrasively are entirely different subjects. Conservation is much akin to automobile restorative work IMHO. Also remember one other thing in regards to coin grading by the various services. They are just opinions and a lot of coins sell much better uncertified or cracked out. Years ago at the ANA in Baltimore MD all one heard early in the morning was the shattering of plastic PCGS and NGC holders.You should try a little experiment yourself and see if it works for you as it has me and others. Take a really nice looking coin that comes back in a holder not to your satisfaction, crack it out and sell it. You will be very pleased at how much extra it brings! Also as to my selling ideals when it comes to coins is.Properly describe and grade an uncertified coin and price it fairly. If you are the least bit not happy with your purchase absolutely no question money is cheerfully refunded. As to certified coins you bought it you got it! in 40 plus years I have had less than 10 coins returned. If say I am selling a 1936 Canada Dollar in AU (uncertified)with light marks and an old cleaning that is what I state in the list. |

Thanks for the update 54dollarcoin. I am in no way a fan of slabbed coins and if on the rare occasion I do buy one the slab goes in the bin and the coin goes into my collection  . After 40 years in the game and still in business I have absolutely no doubts about your credentials and would buy a coin that I needed graded by you in a heartbeat. |

Thank you trout and I should add right now there is a tremendous debate raging in the US with what constitutes restoration and what is coin doctoring a most enlightening battle!! Check out the PNG website as well!. The British museum has been restoring Ancients and Medievals for a couple of Centuries. Restoration saves coins and abrasive improper cleaning kills them!! Take Care JN

My comment had to do with the original poster's coin. There is a difference between restoration and aesthetics. This coin has no issues, so in my opinion (only my opinion), treatment would be to make the coin prettier for resale... the concern being profit and not the wellfare of the coin. That's a dealer I want to avoid and will do every effort to do so. Good luck.

Actually this coin does have issues. The biggest issue being that the coin is plain and simple just begging to be cut out of the ICCS holder and sold either raw or submitted to another grader ie. NGC. Coin restoration done properly is a perfectly acceptable solution to save a coin from further damage or problems. If you safely remove PVC green slime is one great example. Welfare of the coin is ALWAYS a key consideration.

If I had to guess, I would have said Fort Street, nestled in amongst the antique stores. I always thought a place like Sidney would do well with a coin store, but overhead would be nasty now that Sidney is trendy...
