It would be like somebody bringing an old rusty 1957 chevy to a car show. Somehow the rust is supposed to make it look original? Sorry, but I like my antiques to be restored to look as close to new as possible. When people carried these coins around with them decades ago, they were not all tarnished like this. Why should we have to look at them in that condition just because some collector says they are worth more money that way?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
