jdmern Pillar of the Community United States 1949 Posts	Posted 07/10/2015 3:53 pm I generally submit to PCGS but I am in the process of filling out my first ANACS submission... Came to the part where they have the option for conservation at their discretion? Has any one used this option before? Anyone have an idea of what methods they use?

1916 D Merc Valued Member United States 459 Posts	Posted 07/10/2015 9:23 pm I'm not exactly sure of what processes etc. they use.. However, I submitted some coins today at the Summer FUN show and I like their $29 flat rate that covers up to 20 coins on your form.. I don't know what they use to decide to conserve or not (If a coin is controversial) If you have some coins (3+) with gunk or corrosion I would definitely recommend it. (A lot cheaper than the $10 a coin at some others) Report this Post to the Staff
edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 07/12/2015 10:49 am I saw that option too, but was unclear what the process was, so I passed. My coins were in pretty good shape, but might be worth a shot if it looks like yours need conserving. Report this Post to the Staff
Fayette1800 Pillar of the Community United States 1094 Posts	Posted 07/13/2015 11:49 pm I have done it in the past and been happy with the results. Not sure exactly what they do. I will see if I can get an answer when I pick up my coins I dropped off a little while ago. Report this Post to the Staff
Dino Valued Member United States 180 Posts	Posted 07/15/2015 10:04 pm Have a few coins I've been on the fence about for grading/conserving; I like ANACS and now feel more inclined to use. Will post if I go that way..... Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6385 Posts	Posted 07/20/2015 02:21 am I sent in an uncirculated British Gothic florin for ANACS grading and requested conservation service based on the toning which seemed uneven to me. ANACS slabbed the coin as MS-64 but did not perform any conservation, stating that they didn't want to mess up the coin's original surfaces. I guess that is good news, because 1) my coin is apparently original, with no stains or coatings that could be removed via conservation, and 2) ANACS is not indiscriminate about conserving coins. If they don't think conservation is warranted they won't do it. Report this Post to the Staff
