Disappointing quarterly results...but not totally unexpected

Eagleguy

The coin below was graded MS61 BN by ANACS. In spite of the reverse spots, I cracked it out and sent it in for the quarterly special - mainly because, as you can see from the photo, the ANACS slab was cracked, and its a (mostly) free submission. It came back bodybagged as Genuine - Environmental Damage. The question I have now is what to do with it. I thought about throwing it in my Dansco and giving my kids/grandkids a big thrill someday but there isn't a hole for the 55 DDO. I suppose I could get an Airtite capsule for it. Any other suggestions?

Did you request that it be encapsulated, only in the event that it received a grade? Either way, why not have it slabbed, and then either keep it or sell it, as you please?

Can NCS remove the marks? I'd say it's worth a shot.

Normally, I'd suggest that you send it to a coin doctor. But these are not normal times.

The stains are likely etched into the coin's surface. If such is the case, there is little that NCS could do that would make a meaningful difference.

Mark, in the event that it wouldn't grade I had figured that a PCGS genuine holder would be better than a cracked ANACS holder. However, I had forgotten that Secure Plus submissions (i.e the quarterly special) are not eligible for Genuine holders. The coin has already been returned to me so I have no intentions to re-submit.

Well, you could always send it back to ANACS to see what they say this time. It is not a bad looking coin.

There are 3 extra holes in the Dansco after 1958 - put it in one of those.

Just send it to me and I will care for it as if it were my child. Cheers, RickO

With little to lose, I'd give it a good bath in acetone and a soak in distilled water, then place it with the reverse up on a glass shelve. Sure the reverse would darken in time, but is there any chance its color would even out?

I'd send it to NCS and at least have them evaluate it...definitely worth a shot.
