Message:: [QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1895811, member: 112"]Most often the results have absolutely nothing to do with "who" does the conservation and everything to do with the coin that was being conserved. What I mean by that is that it is not the conservation method itself or who does it that matters, but rather what the specific problem was to begin with (not all coins are even candidates for conservation), and whether or not there were any underlying problems on the coin that were or are hidden by the problem you are trying to have fixed by conserving the coin. It is exponentially harder to determine if a coin is a candidate for conversation than it is to do the actual conservation. Anybody can do the conservation - even you - if you have the knowledge. But nobody can look at a coin and know with any degree of certainty if the coin be conserved with a good result.[/QUOTE]
