Coulport

In a heart beat.

Cam40

is it noted on the slab?

if so, then, sure probably so if i `needed it` .
I think PCGS will do this also for certain coins and not just any coin.

Yes it is noted on the slab.

Cam40

Cool. Your three for three in favor of.

if the price was right for my opinion of the net grade, yes

islemangu

No..just dont like conserved coins when there are other non-conserved out there. Now if its from an old sucken ship that would be different

No one is talking about conserved coins. These are coins that were "cleaned" and it is denoted on the holders as such. The price reflects this. For some, it is the only way to afford certain coins.

Probably, if the price were right.

PutTogether

absolutely
in fact, if you ever find one of those in a 34S Dollar. Let me know.

If I liked the look of the coin, I would get it. I wouldn't buy just to fill a hole.

Sorry I misunderstood


If reflected in price yes but only for the 1955 ddo since such a interesting coin regardless of cleaning

Don I have two IHC's, one is a 1874 that should have slabbed. I paid a third of what I would have.

Definitely

BTW, NCS doesn't net grade their coins. They simply list the details grade and the problems. They leave it to the buyer to determine net grade. I prefer it that way.

dorkkarl

what does "ncs" have to do w/ the question? authenticity?

i'd buy such cleaned coins at the appropriate net value, regardless of "ncs".

In a word Karl, marketability. Some of us haven't reached that 7th stage of collecting where we can always tell whether a coin has been messed with or how badly it will affect marketability. I might like a coin at $300 but not at $500 if it has been lightly wiped. I am sure there are other collectors ought there who feel the same way.

I have a 1874 IHC, granted it is not a key date but it is a nice coin to own. I paid $175 for it in an NCS slab. It was there because it had been lightly wiped in the past or so the experts at NCS. A former graded looked at the coin and admitted that he would most likely have graded the coin and not passed on it. Several copper collectors agreed when it was passed around at a major show. Obviously the degree to which it has been messed with and its appeal will vary from coin to coin. At least holdered a more informed decision to purchase and establish a resale value can be guesstimated.

A bad cleanly coin in such a holder and noted as such will at least give peace of mind to some collectors that it is geniune.

Depends on the price. I'd buy ANYTHING if the price were right.
