I could take a Ferrari on a ride up a muddy drive, and then have Jeeves clean it. He could use a gentle cleaner and rinse the car off, or he could...
It is fascinating that the dies have survived! And, the original is vastly superior to the restrike. Wow.
Cleaning and conserving are two very different things. It's okay to remove grime from a Renoir. It's not okay to touch up the paint. Same...
