not to familiar with these, the toning takes away from it.
however is it me, or is that exhibiting cam?

Do I dare talk about NCS conserving it?

PCGS only grades it at xf-45
Do you think it grades so low because of the toning?
That black stuff can be IN the surface. Really tenacious stuff.
Maybe worth the risk.
When NCS gets done, it goes into a regular NGC holder correct?

i will also agree with others that something is not quite right
about this coin.
<< <i>The obverse looks XF/AU, the reverse looks unc. >>
Trade Dollar Nut, I believe you know this series better than anyone (especially me,) but I am curious about what led you to your conclusions on the obverse?
I do not see any wear on the high points, and certainly not enough to push the coin into the XF zone - all I see is possibly some lack of defininition on the drapery and a slightly different luster in that same area which, given the crispness of the reverse, I would first suspect to be a glitch in the photograph and second the surface particulars of this coin given all the crazy toning going on.
I'm not trying to second guess the master, merely understand your wisdom.

It is unusual, however, to see that much wear with a full crisp shield. It's a funky looking coin in that respect.
<< <i>Conserve it and you've got nothing but a washed out, marked up, unnaturally white POS. Why bother??? >>
Why bother,?
If I could increase the value $500-$1000 I could buy another really sweet coin. That's why.
Remember some of us are just small time, and could only dream of getting to buy some of the real sweet pieces that others can afford. So we have to scratch and claw our way to the mid-range. I may never reach the top. LOL

Just because a coin is conserved and upgraded from PCGS XF45 to a washed out NGC AU50 doesn't mean the value increases - except to those buyers who have no clue about how to value coins.

Kindly take my advice in the spirit in which it's offered and not turn this into a class war.

that and the influx of rubes.
his advice is solid!

As for your question about conservation. I have a short response... DISASTER... that will be one decision you will regret.
As for suggestions... if you do not like the coin, consider selling it as it is
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

NCS will only agree to conserve it, if they feel that type of toning can be removed without damage. I have had a few come back graded but not conserved due to this.
