Any chance of showing the cert numbers so we can look at the NGC images ?

That's interesting, for the record were they submitted in the NGC holders? Is there any evidence to suggest better results if coins are submitted in the raw.

No, all of them were cracked opened and submit as raw.... I have only done that so far...

Okay Folks, after months of waiting around I have the grade for my 1938 6D. It is now a MS66 PCGS coin.... Not a bad result but MS67 would have been nice ...

First of All

The general rule of thumb is DON'T clean any coin.
A dip in acetone to remove any organic or plastic is OK But anything else has a real good chance of removing any numismatic value :ok:

Cleaning typically causes corrosive or abrasive damage. Condition is determined by a coin's level of preservation so cleaning cannot improve condition but can worsen it. The only time cleaning is advised is to prevent further damage (e.g. removing a corrosive residue from a coin) and in such cases it's recommended to be done by a professional to minimise damage.
