Can NCS fix a bent coin?

PutTogether

Specifically a three cent silver. And if they can........would NGC then slab and grade it?
I've got an 1867 I'm real curious about.

I thought NCS merely dipped coins. I don't think they would fix a coin that is damaged, although they might holder it.

Is that really the case........and if it is, what do their holders say?

That is my belief. I'm sure somebody else will chime in shortly (or maybe in an hour since it is 2:00am). Their holders advertise the problems the coin comes with (as do ANACS holders except NCS doesn't net grade). An example is below.

How bent is the coin? Are we talking slightly bent?



If the coin is not significantly bent, I believe they would probably holder it, stating that it is bent. I would personally send the coin to ANACS if I wanted it holdered. I think they are cheaper than NCS, but ANACS will net grade instead of just stating the details grade.

NCS does not alter a coin except for dipping (when necessary). They do not repair coins of problems. For that, you'd have to go to Stockton. Most of NCS's cleaning process does nothing to the coin surface. Most people think all they use is acidic dip. That is incorrect. They use a wide variety of chemicals we have little/no access to. And their procedures are more advanced than what most of us are aware of.

Yes, I believe they would holder a slightly bent coin. But you can hop over to the other side of the street and ask them yourself. They have a Q&A Forum. Ask NCS

Maybe try to bend it back right just using your fingers or putting it between two books? What's the worst you can do bend it? mike

you can 90% likely straighten it yourself. i've straightened numerous coins.

Just put it between 2 pieces of thick leather & beat it back flat again.
