NCS and NGC Conservation and Grading - Failure and Success in Equal Measures

Its a lottery quite often. National Conservation Service (NCS) are meant to conserve coins but little information is given back to service users on what they did or success. NGC are then given the coins to grade.

This unboxing contains specialist gold, NCS modern and NGC modern and invludes pre-33, modern silver and chinese medals so something for all.

Awesome coins. Congrats on not receiving any details grading for the gold dollars. That shield back sovereign has really nice luster and sharp strike. I agree, its strange that NGC only gave it a 61 grade considering that their grading is influenced by eye appeal. NCS really is a hit or miss. I've seen coins that were down graded after being conserved by NCS. I guess its because the toning or dirt hides blemishes or contact marks.

I really enjoy your grading result video....very detail and well presented.

Those Queen's Beast can be very frustrating, in both the Au and Ag. Great design, but dodgy QA. Your persistence is rewarded though, that's a great slab to have

Thanks Numi for the show and tell, I learn a lot from you! Like the Queens Beast, and still love that Dragon and Phoenix design.

[TheRealMrSnickers]

quite beautiful coins..thank you for showing the grading. I always love to see this

ty for sharing, the queens beast gold is amazing. have the royal mint always had these kind of problems? ive noticed the kew 50p gold has been a bit off too.

very nice coins and medals! I like the 95 britannia.. The 2003 1/4 had an issue on the left of the temple first row in the field and a bit in the frosting it looked like to me a couple of little dimples. NCS definitely doesn't work with 1/20th unless its rare or its for a collection. I also had the effect of a 'why didn't i see that before i sent it out' on one of my indians.

I would like to see before and after videos of your NCS submissions.

Pretty nice results, especially on the 1/4 oz beast, it must of been hard for the mint to find a dinkless coin, I will keep you posted once I have fully gone over my 2 ounces..1up

[silverwings]

Thanks for sharing the grading on these coins. Here's a newbie question - What is a details grading? What does that mean?

[AlphaRobins]

enjoyed the video, I loved the dragon and phoenix medal. I need to look into it.

[notsonew]

As always great video! I root for you each time and wish your outcomes would be better sometimes, but as you said, I think the grads you got overall were fair. A little better luck next time...

[ynumismetalscollector]

Nice video. is NCS considered a type of cleaning?

[FractionalStacker]

great video, really like the gold dollars

[silverdiva]

Nice coins, Pretty good on the Queens Beast. I should send mine in.

[willstaxx]

I have a 2018 1 oz gold libertad it develop a small red spot on the reverse should i send it to conservation?

[TimothyCoxMD]

Thank you for the video. I really hope they don't go too low if the RM decide to continue offering a fraction gold coin in the Beasts series. 1/4 ounce is a nice size.

[platinumskies]

Nice coins bud I'm taking that half guinea to spink when I go to London this month to see if I can sell it or they can give me a valuation also are you into numismatic british coins ie sixpence or shillings I would like to see them go in for grading thanks numi

[Stokjockey]

You are Right NUMI MS60 is VERY Rarely Given out at NGC or Beast

A 69 is not a fail, it needs shouting from the rooftops
