Conserve that ? Fine as is !
Touching near million dollar coins with a shaky
Hand never the smartest idea .

Using a PCGS True View picture for comparison is like photoshopping a mugshot.
GC has just knocked it out of the ballpark for me this past year, time after time.

Even in the True View it's ugly. If I were in the market I would not pay nearly as much for this coin as I would for a lower grade attractive one.

The toning will still knock it down the equivalent of 2 to 3 grades for me, in terms of value.
Would have held all of it's value, if completely untoned.

Toning does not ever affect a Technical grade only the eye appeal of
the coin .
I think there are many of us who would love to own and enjoy
this outstanding rarity .
Heck I still drool over the VF 35 NGC that I owned for years .

A hefty dab of Wright's Silver Crean and 15 minutes of elbow grease and it could be an MS-68 most likely.Even proof like maybe!  |

So if they believe this coin has a market grade of 67, they must think it has a technical grade of what 70? |

Conservation is a technique to preserve coins with environmental damage. This coin has no such damage. It is simply toned, and that probably adds value and justifies the grade since the surfaces are original. Dip it, and kiss that MS-67 goodbye. You'd now have an MS-65 example if the graders don't bag it which might happen since this is a known coin and the cleaning could not be disguised. Toning can't be removed without some level of surface impact.

 If memory serves me correct, there were 2 PCGS MS-67 coins...... the Vermeule MS67 (the one in the OP) and the Norweb coin. The Norweb coin was cracked from a PCGS ms-67 holder, and conserved by NCS (trying to get it in a 68 holder). The conservation removed the toning, but left the coin with a chalky grey color. It was dropped to an NGC 66, and I believe that NGC purchased it back shortly thereafter. Ouch. Fan of the toning or not, at least it supports the originality of these pieces and makes them easily recognizable. |

The images are scanned; it has a LOT of *pop*. Plus, it has never been dipped. For a '93-S in Unc-that's a Rarity in itself
