NCS candidate?

Got this one in the mail today. I knew it would be hazy, but it was significantly below Krause.

It's an (old?) NGC holder with a lime-green label, PF62. There's definite cameo contrast on the obverse, and hints of it on the reverse.

I'm thinking this may be a perfect coin to send into NCS to see what they can do.

Thoughts?

    I'm always interested in what NCS can do as I have a coin I would like to send (1927 GB proof crown) but never got around to.

    What does that hand signal symbolize though?

    Looks like a coin that needs NCS care!

    If you have to ask, the answer is yes image

    While I believe they could help with the more unsightly oxidation below the hand, I think the grade had more to do with the numerous contact areas on the devices - as though the coin had been in a bag with its other fellow struck coins for some years. Don't know that you could expect a big number increase, and good the Brits don't get hold of it for one of their non=numeric grades...

    The hand is a symbol for the vow on the Weimar constitution, the coin was strucked to commemorate the 10th anniversary. image

    Also, a benediction sign like in the Catholic church.

    I would not be so quick to dip or conserve this. I doubt it will improve the grade or the overall appearance. My concern is that if you dip it, any hairlines will be very pronounced

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    My thoughts exactly, I doubt that it will as there def. are contact/hairline marks on this coin.
