Oldman Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 ...I'll send this in to be conserved by NGC to see how well they do with it. Hello elverno, I've a question : Do NGC/NCS conserve/slab foreign medals ? If I'm not mistaken, they used to put something like "unknown type" and returned w/o slabbing.
