NCS works its magic!!!

I submitted two 1942/1 Mercury Dimes to NCS for conservation. One was raw when I got it, the other was in an ANACS holder grade VF details, Net F12 (Cleaned). After I got them back from NCS, I resubmitted the coins to ANACS for grading under the Economy service tier. I took almost 8 weeks to get them back, but they both now reside in AU details, Net EF 40 holders!

VF to AU. That gives me less confidence in ANACS.

OK - so these were cleaned coins that they conserved? Did you by any chance get the report that's available to you from NCS? It'd be interesting to know what they did to "conserve" your coins!

No,
They didn't send me a report of what they had done, just a bill. Both coins had quite a bit of oxidation when I sent them in. Came back clean as a whistle

Why didn't NCS slab the coins???

I didn't ask NCS to slab them, and at the time I submitted them, I don't believe they were offering the service. Besides that, they won't assign a grade, whereas ANACS will.
