Acid Treated Buffalo Nickels? 0

[Crawtomatic]

So I don't have to but I'm trying to track down a Details grade 1916 DDO for my registry set.  Without breaking the bank.  I can find examples of PCGS & ANACS graded with the "Acid Etched"/"Acid Treated" attribution.  Just not seeing any NGC graded examples.  I didn't see the condition on the full list of exclusions for why a coin could not be encapsulated but I may have overlooked it.  https://www.ngccoin.com/news/article/6436/

There's an article from years ago regarding encapsulating in an NCS holder here.

I found a picture of one on Heritage Auctions in an NCS holder but it's an older version and I can't get the certification number to come up with results.

If I were able to find one in an NCS holder would that qualify for the competitive registry sets?  What if I were to submit one, would that end up in an NGC or NCS holder?

What about the nickels treated with the vinegar/peroxide solution?  Do those get an environmental damage attribute or something similar?  Seen a few in holder that appear that way but not sure.

 

Thanks for your time.

NGC does not encapsulate coins whose dates or other details have been restored with acid. Such coins will be returned in a flip with the notation "acid etched."

Could you clarify if NCS continues to encapsulate them?

I presume NCS slabs would not qualify competitive sets.

NCS has not encapsulated coins for many years. Both numeric and details grades are now assigned solely by NGC.
