<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Fish, post: 573776, member: 6034&quot;]That&#039;s not quite accurate.&nbsp; Not every copper coin, nor every high-grade one, has been worked on, especially not to the degree you&#039;re implying.&nbsp; Also, any piece that has been will, unless the work was done to remove or repair an exceedingly unsightly blemish (and I mean truly brutal) that coin is forever diminished in the eyes of the members of EAC.&nbsp; Even the coins that really needed it do take a net-grade hit, just to a somewhat lesser degree tna if they had been left alone.&nbsp; I should stress here that situations like that are the exception and NOT the rule.&nbsp; As has been said before, for every coin that is improved by being fiddled with a hundred will be ruined.</p><p><br /></p><p>I certainly can&#039;t claim decades of experience, but I don&#039;t believe that coin has been molested.&nbsp; I&#039;ve seen coins that warranted it and those that didn&#039;t after - none looked like that.</p><p><br /></p><p>Very nice large cent sir.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
