Did NGC give her a pass on this? Can she be rehabilitated somehow, without being thereafter ridiculed and derided as "cleaned"?   Edited by pristine2

Nice surfaces. I think it is technically a 63, but lots of small divots on the obverse and green verdigris under the nose. Net 61.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

I get the sense she spent some time in very wet conditions.

Maybe try NGC's own conservation service?

as is MS63 details. not sure if it can rehabbed to the point where it would grade straight. I think if the booger is picked it could uncover a surface problem

Best you could hope for would be a different color under it from the surrounding areas.

Verdi-Care?

I don't see any wear and surfaces look OK overall. MS-62 BN straight grade seems fair. Verdi-Care carefully applied might remove the green spot and would be worth a try, IF you are willing to crack the slab.

I'd like to get some, but I've never ever been able to source Verdi-care. I was going to try it on a roll of 1935s Lincoln cents that were all AU/BU but afflicted with little green spots. But I never found any place that stocks it.
Not sure I would try it on a pricier coin like this anyway ...

Amazing it escaped a details grade, I think.  |

I'm a little shocked it didnt pull the designation. the obverse obviously held it back from a 63 grade

I sent the coin to NGC with a request for their "conservation service" and a re-holdering.
We'll see what happens!

I think I'd need this one in hand to see the surfaces, if no pitting then sure it might upgrade if it conserves well. P.S. on pristine2's original description  that was a great one! Not many people could put Millard Fillmore and cocaine in the same sentence and make it funny and relevant. Kudos to you sir for the chuckle! I also agree a wash or soak in Verdi-Care would have done wonders on it before slabbing. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!
