thedollarman Pillar of the Community Canada 4911 Posts	Posted 01/18/2014 1:00 pm As some of you may have read I recently acquired an ms62 PCGS 1859 narrow 9 canadian cent. The holder is a bit scratched up with hair lines and small blemishes right over the obverse, is there a way of getting rid of these and if so will it affect the genuiness of the certification. The holder is matte with a smooth clear round plastic window for the coins viewing, the coin is not held in with small fingers but completely encircled with a plastic ring of sorts(the plastic is on the entire edge of the coin).

Improved scratch resistance I saw in the article. https://goccf.com/t/167178 Edited by oih82w8 01/21/2014 5:42 pm Report this Post to the Staff
