durkastani Valued Member United States 452 Posts	Posted 07/21/2015 10:15 pm I submitted several coins to NGC for grading and they sent me an e-mail today stating that several were worth submitting for "conservation." Is it worth it? What is the benefit? Report this Post to the Staff

XavierOfGreen Pillar of the Community United States 2589 Posts	Posted 07/21/2015 10:46 pm I haven't heard of them doing that before (sending an email like that), its possible that there are problems on the coins (PVC, Verdigris) that would make the coin get a details grade and negatively impact their value. If they emailed you, they must feel that these problems could be fixed by conservation. What exactly did you submit for grading and if you have pictures it would help if you could post them here.

durkastani Valued Member United States 452 Posts	Posted 07/21/2015 10:57 pm I don't have pictures but several had the PVC green slime. Others were straight out of mint packaging. 58-63 Franklin proof coins and one 64 Kennedy proof. Edited by durkastani 07/21/2015 11:05 pm Report this Post to the Staff

That's as it should be, because once started PVC eventually destroys the coin, every single time. PVC is not something you mention casually; it's something you panic about.

trout1105 Pillar of the Community Australia 7096 Posts	Posted 07/26/2015 6:22 pm I had a few NZ proofs sent back from PCGS in :boddybags" PVC reside and gave them a soak in acetone. This probably cost me less than a dollar to do. I then re submitted them and they graded OK All NZ 1953 proofs, here are the grades I got for them; Crown PR63CA Half crown PR64CA Florin PR65CA Shilling PR65CA Sixpence PR64+CA Three pence PR64CA If you can get this PVC gunk off your coins in time they will grade Report this Post to the Staff
