http://www.ngccoin.com/certlookup/i...=4292866-001NCS conserved her nicely very nice compared to the heavy tarnished face and reverse. I'll take au55 any day. Hoping I get it back by end of the week. Should be shipping out today. Thoughts? I am very happy. Will post my pics when I get it back.

Looks great. So you are saying you shipped them a heavily tarnished coin, and asked them to conserve it, and this is the result?

Yes I sent the 1928 peace to ncs first to see if conservation would work and indeed it did. Once ncs fixed it up ngc graded it. I was expecting low to mid AU. I'm happy. Looking back on original photos and responses a few nailed it with mid AU while others were way off.

A job well done by NCS. You need to post the original photos of the coin. I went back and looked at the coin before conservation and it is an amazing difference.

OK, so you sent it to NCS first, and did they then send it back to you after conservation and then you submitted to NGC , or did they just transfer it to NGC? Not sure if I'm asking correctly.....did you have to submit it twice? Now I'm confused.

They sent it from conservation straight to ngc for grading and stabbing that's what I requested and that's what they did. It's not like the coin travels far I am pretty sure ncs and ngc are in the same building if not very close.

Hairlined as heck. I think they took it too far, I would have preferred it with some of the original skin intact to minimize the hairlines, probably should have been AU53.

That's an amazing change and improvement! I need to keep NCS in mind for the future after seeing what they can do.

That is some amazing work. I would not have approached that coin with dip; too far gone to remove all the black without trashing the surfaces. They must have reversed the oxidation via electrolysis or something; I wonder what happens to the effects of thiourea when heated.
Mad props to NCS. They turned a dog into a believable coin.

No way I would send to PCGS for 3 reasons....sinking more $ into the coin, 2. it'd probably come details grade 3. I prefer NGC

I consider it a fairly graded coin which passes easily for original surfaces, which is the real test of surface originality and not the truth of whether they're actually original. No doubt in my mind PCGS would likely pass it.
