<p>[QUOTE="mrbrklyn, post: 573508, member: 4381"]The kind of work we are talking about would have been done in the 1920's to the 1950's and was as prevalent then among copper fans as steroids were in 1990's with Baseball. It might even be something that can't be avoided in high end coppers. That strike is just awesome and I don't think that if the coin was worked on that it would affect the value do to the history of these coins and the delicate nature of copper. I was just looking over the eyes and details and just wondering if this might be a good example of the "craftmanship" of those early copper experts. Only the biggest experts with decades of experience would really know, people who have seen a lot of before and afters in their travels at auctions. SO, just to be clear, I'm mostly interested in the question from a historical perspective.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ruben[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
