<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jackhd, post: 2401208, member: 73897&quot;]Insider - I actually expected you, or someone like-minded, to &quot;jump&quot; on my previous post. I certainly appreciate your opinion. All subjects have more than one opinion, and this topic is not an exception. I do have just a couple of points that I would have you consider:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. I don&#039;t speak for SuperDave. I spoke about his recommendations (which I support).</p><p><br /></p><p>2. In your 2nd paragraph, you offer &quot;some hard truths.&quot; The next words you write are much more honest, when you add IMO (In My Opinion). That is what you offer. NOT truth, but opinion. <u>Your</u> opinion, to be exact. I have offered nothing more, or less than you, my opinion. </p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s one of the reasons that forums of all types, allow for differences of opinion. You&#039;re are WRONG (again) when you say that the coin &quot;cannot be hurt.&quot; To make such a statement is ridiculous, and could encourage an inexperienced collector to make mistakes. While it&#039;s true the coin, in time, will re-tone, there are still stains on it that will not allow for even toning, and could actually make it look worse. And, here&#039;s a final thought (from my keyboard, to your eyes): Shiny is not necessarily better in numismatics. Original and shiny - YES! Not original (<i>like when you make it shiny</i>) NOT SO MUCH. Again I speak from my personal experiences. I don&#039;t profess to have all the answers. Most assuredly, neither do you. Perhaps we can both share our opinions and in the process increase our knowledge, and, maybe help someone along the way. Jack[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
