nealeffendi Pillar of the Community Australia 852 Posts	Posted 09/25/2013 10:22 am Has anyone here had experience (good or bad) with getting their coins conserved through PCGS? I'm looking to get slabbed coin I think will make AU50 but it has some grime (dirt?) in the grooves that I want cleaned up so the coin can store long term without any contaminants inside the slab. It is a coin worth 5 figures and irreplaceable (it is a rare coin with no other coin above VF). I don't want to run the risk of the coin not being properly conserved and looking unnatural.

oih82w8 Pillar of the Community United States 7840 Posts	Posted 09/25/2013 12:07 pm I sent my "Questionable Color" Seated Liberty dollar in for "conservation" through PCGS. I received it back with a sticky note saying that there was nothing that they could do...except collect the $25 plus shipping. BTW, ANACS is now advertising this "service" too.

I would give them a call and ask any questions that you have about the service and maybe they can give you a suggestion about what to do. Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 09/25/2013 6:41 pm Quite frankly, I'd stick to NGC/NCS for a coin of this stature. Its' uniqueness would override the "PCGS Premium" anyway, and as low as my opinion of NGC is sometimes, I've nothing ill to say about NCS. Report this Post to the Staff
