<p>[QUOTE="stldanceartist, post: 1212438, member: 13307"]It did seem to remove some of the chocolate brown patina from the coin - at the benefit of removing all the green goo from both sides. IMO aside from the areas of blue toning (which I don't mind, personally) I think the amount of visible detail on the coin is greatly improved. It's an interesting conundrum - and I suppose this is why there are so many discussions on this topic - but this went from a coin I would have sold to pay for other coins (and at a significantly lower price than it would have retailed) to a coin that I enjoy looking at (and I'll keep it for a long while.) I can see both sides of the argument - but I suppose I sit more closely to the middle, thinking that it would be extremely difficult for anyone to tell if a coin has ever been cleaned, dipped, rubbed, exposed to unseemly elements...and at the end of the day, appreciate an attractive coin for what it is.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
