<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 2401033, member: 36230&quot;]As much as I understand and respect your point, <i>come on</i>.... did you see the earlier photos of the coin? You act like the guy just destroyed a century or more of original crust on a stellar example of an incredibly rare coin. While certainly entitled to your opinion, the simple fact is he did no such thing, and there are plenty of these to go around, especially in less than ideal conditions. </p><p><br /></p><p>As an example, we can&#039;t and shouldn&#039;t save every old building, especially ones of little significance and that have been heavily altered from their original state, but there certainly are ones deserving, and the same is true with coins. The OP started with a very rough looking fairly common coin that was essentially the bones of what it once was, and improved upon it to his own liking. Should all ratty old cars be kept just as they are today no matter how much damage they&#039;ve endured over the years, or is it okay for people to &quot;work&quot; on, turning them into something that they will enjoy? Sure, tearing down the garage-kept perfect 100% original survivor would be appalling, but not the one sitting behind Farmer Joe&#039;s barn rotting into the ground. If you feel the need to save such coins as they presently are, by all means do so, but just don&#039;t expect everyone else to feel or do the same, or assume that if they feel differently than you they must be idiots or uneducated. If there was no genuine harm, there also, rightfully, should be no foul as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
