NCS can remove it. Dunno if they use something like ms70 or verdi-care.

I thought that it was considered as "Bad Form" to clean a coin, But " apparently" a grading firm can do it and it is OK .
Sounds a wee bit dodgy to me
Especially when these are the people that slab the coins and make the grading decisions on that coin.

There is cleaning... And there is conserving.

Having worked at a museum for a while I really can appreciate good conservation skills, although sadly many people employees as such often can do more harm that good due to competence, or lack thereof.

Ok, the acetone didn't work on the business strikes at all really. A couple that were cruddy got softened up some but they are still smokey looking like they have dried smeared on oil on them.
Rest in Peace

These are all coins from the 60's and 70's. Do you think it would be worth it to send to NCS?

They lasted 40-50 years, if they're common, odds are good you'll be able to buy similar coins for a lot less than $20 plus $30 for certification.

Like I said, I have no interest in getting them certified.
