<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jtlee321, post: 2900678, member: 73983&quot;]My opinion may have been lost in my explanation.&nbsp; What I was trying to say is that it&#039;s ok to like a coin that is all polished up (everyone likes what they like).&nbsp; What is not ok is to polish a coin that is not already polished up.&nbsp; To ruin a coin to suite your collecting desires is not ok (in they eye&#039;s of a vast majority of collectors).&nbsp; That in no way states that what he likes is not ok.&nbsp; Especially when there are plenty of examples that have already been ruined by people polishing them.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are people who enjoy collecting holed coins, yet they don&#039;t purchase coins and add holes to them to make them fall in line with what they desire.&nbsp; What [USER=87624]@Jersey magic man[/USER] had stated was taking a coin and cleaning/polishing it to make it look the way he likes it.&nbsp; His justification was that he would have no plans to sell or get rid of the coin.&nbsp; Just because you don&#039;t plan to sell a coin, does not mean that that coin will never have a future custodian (we all die someday).&nbsp; That future custodian cannot undo the damage done by a previous custodian.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
