I used some Blu-Bow on both coins with a Q-Tip to get rid of the tarnish and dirt. My pics are what they looked like after that. Also, I had Rick Snow take a look at the before and afters of the 1 in neck and he said NGC shoulda bodybagged it as altered color. All of the experts in the NGC forum thought that I was off my rocker and didn't know how to grade. I'll take his word over any of theirs.
