May end up doing a crossover with PCGS, may leave it alone. Why not pay them to conserve it? They will likely use (PCGS-only super-special magic) xylene as well, but for a coin like this its probably worth it not be reminded every time you look at it how you think it would have been better with a xylene bath. I can only dream of having a 26-S like this How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 01/22/2021 4:49 pm @Earle42. Short answer, I don't trust them! . The problem is not knowing exactly what steps will be taken to "conserve"the coin. And really, I don't think I'd want anything further than xylene to come in contact with it. So in my mind, why risk it becoming a possible "cleaned" Details example after they send it in for grading..... it's happened before. And by no means am I saying I'm more capable of handling the conservation, just stating the disconnect between the customer and PCGS's conservation. Report this Post to the Staff
Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10048 Posts	Posted 01/22/2021 8:06 pm Wow - somehow this does not surprise me though as the more I dig into these companies, the more I am most definitely impressed...by their lack of living up to what the market says they are ad their own claims. I had no idea they would go as far to to take a step that was risky and mess it up. Sad. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?
