roach Valued Member United States 364 Posts	Posted 08/16/2017 2:49 pm Hi all, Just got in this 1838 Large Cent n-11 LDS with the Cud. It appears to be Very Near MS but has a bit of crud in the crevices and a small amount of green stuff on the obverse. Any ideas on whether this would grade as a "no problem" coin at NGC? It is a rarer Variety being LDS (the old n-13) so may be worth a pretty penny. Pardon the pun :) Report this Post to the Staff

As is would detail. Since it is a scarce variety you might consider submitting this to NGC conservation prior to submission for grading. Report this Post to the Staff
edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 08/19/2017 11:21 pm Agree with the acetone soak. If you let NGC conserve it, you might get a problem free grade, but wouldn't swear to it. Report this Post to the Staff

roach Valued Member United States 364 Posts	Posted 10/23/2017 11:02 pm Got the coin back today , MS 63 . I think NCS did a great job conserving it. looks much more like an MS coin now and all the green crud is gone. Well worth it! Report this Post to the Staff
