I got no explanation on what was done.

Well their processes are "proprietary". So they aren't going to tell you what they did to it.

Well I was expecting something like this:

"Sir/Madam, per your appearance review request, we reviewed your 1/2 cent. Upon review we agree that the coin merits conservation. We have conserved it and upon grading confirm that the coin is still AU 53"

Because basically that's what they did, but they didn't notify me.

Not everyone can or will learn the correct procedures, therefore these paid services will almost always find success.

I agree with the "will," but think it is few people who fit into the category of "Not everyone can... ."
But...I was a teacher so that attitude is in my DNA

They did a nice job here.

I stand by what I said. Few > Zero, therefore not everyone.

Kidding aside, I do appreciate your lifelong effort to teach.

Honestly for a $20 coin, I would be fine "dipping" it myself, but for a $100+ coin, I would rather not take the chance. One can turn a $100 coin into bullion if not careful. The "details" flag can kill the value of a coin.

IN THIS CASE

If I took out the coin dipped it and resubmitted, the cost would have been more than $36 and there are no guarantees I would have gotten the same grade.

Guess they assumed you were smart enough to figure it out once you got the coin back.
