westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9793 Posts	Posted 05/28/2022 08:35 am Quote: Would NGC buy back my 1837 Half Dime since it no longer deserves the grade on the holder? Billjones said:Only NGC can answer that. He is correct, but also toning should not affect the grade itself, only the eye appeal. Grade is about wear, or lack of, as well as marks, ticks, scuffs from other coins coming into contact with said coin say in a bag or a pile of them. Details is about damage, scratches, intentional or unintentional. It can also be about cleaning, and recoloring using chemical agents to speed reaction times, or acid based ones to strip away a layer of toning or other environmental surface contamination. I don't believe the grade changes other than the possibility of it becoming a details graded coin from a (missed) old dipping/cleaning. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R.
