Not that this Half Cent was in dire need of conservation but I wanted to see if I was happy with their service. My only concern was the verdigris around the date. Here are the before and after pictures of the obverse and reverse. The before pics look darker mainly because of the lighting when I took the photos. before:   after:   |

Impressive difference. I don't see much wear, and looks like some luster appeared. What did it grade?

They did a nice job. What I like about NGC's conservation service is they won't perform the conservation if it won't improve the coin.

Thanks all for your comments ... I agree that the conservation was very good. I was kind of expecting at least a grade of MS63 but I guess it wasn't meant to be. Here is the slab I got back this past week :  |

Not at all Carl .... I bought it about 10 years ago in a MS62 slab thinking it should grade higher... so I cracked it out earlier this month and resubmitted it . Original cost 255-.
