<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ralph Mlaska, post: 3339430, member: 101033&quot;]My first job as a teen ager was working for a coin broker in 1962 restoring old coins . In those days it was not thought of as doing anything wrong and those coins , Gold, silver, copper and other metals were sold as original. That is how I got the bug on restoring and improved it over the years. No notice that the coin was restored in any way. Removing scratches , bag marks ect. The cat is out of the bag and people started doing it themselves. It was called the tricks of the trade. Well I see I had upset some here. Not intended, so Ill say no more. Except this is nothing new. Just noticed a few posts where people were stuck with a ghost coin, wanted them to know it was not the end of the world.</p><p>PEACE![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
