Yes, totally agree that you should buy the coin not the slab. But if their is no evidence of "conserving" i can't see a problem. Even though I am absolutely against cleaning except in extreme cases. And heck the auction.. coin ended at US $1,545.00 :EEEK:
we won't know if there's any evidence for years. I hope that the person who bought it can afford to wait... and to lose
well... you could say that about any coin... still, I would have loved ot see it in hand. sory for hijacking the thread BTW
No problem. Better that than the thread dies. You have given me a lot of helpful information as well!
