national dealer Pillar of the Community United States 2724 Posts	Posted 12/19/2005 5:08 pm Many times, my inbox will have quite a few question regarding cleaning or conservation. NCS (A firm owned by NGC) has a nice photo gallery of conserved coins. Of course, this is "professionally" cleaned, and not to be considered "bad" by the market place. Look at the before and after pics and judge for yourself. Take special notice of photo number two. Who else could get this piece by NGC? http://www.ncscoin.com/gallery/conserved/index.asp Report this Post to the Staff

OK, NOW LOOK AT PAGE 3 ON THE LINK AND LOOK AT THE 10 AND 20.00 GOLD AT THE BOTTOM...THE FACES ON THE COINS SEEM TO BE "SMILING" IN THE "AFTER" PICTURE...I MEAN their MOUTHS ARE EVEN TURNED UPWARD IN A SMILING POSITION.

The "after" Liberties have smiles whereas in the "befores", they wore frowns. And I don't drink at all. And I don't think I'm hallucinating. Report this Post to the Staff

I reckon the pedigree of the conservator is supreme when cleaning coins. Report this Post to the Staff
