<p>[QUOTE="Drusus, post: 495651, member: 6370"]In other words...I have no real advice to give or help to offer on the subject because I dont know how to do it myself...so I say dont do it. This advice is from a guy who told a new member who said he cleaned a coin: 'any value the coin had was lost when you cleaned it'...this is before he knew how it was cleaned or even saw a photo of the coin <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>Spock...werent you here asking for advice on how to remove Bronze Disease from a coin just recently? Why didnt you just send that sucker out to be professionally conserved instead of looking to do it yourself? Not following your own advice I guess <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Wouldnt it have been nice if someone who knew exactly what to do had helped you with clear step by step instructions?</p><p> </p><p>Your analogy doesnt float...If I wanted to learn how to fly a plane I would and there are people out there who would teach me (not to mention plenty of information out there to learn from). This is a hobby, my boss flies planes for a hobby, I collect coins, if people want to DIY, why discourage them if they are taking the time to try to learn how to do it right? Oh well...same old song <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
