<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 3151040, member: 76194&quot;]I have no mixed feelings about the practice like some here do. The way I see it, you can roll back the odometer on a car that&#039;s done 150,000 miles and give it a fresh coat of paint, but it&#039;s still a worn car and now you are trying to pass it off as something better than what it is. Same with meat, you can probably re-hydrate an old steak in water and add some spices to it and sell it as a fresh spiced stake to a customer, and who cares if he gets salmonella. Right? No, no matter how you look at it it is wrong! Sure, a fake patina can hide some unsightly corrosion and make a worn coin pop out and look better, but at the end of the day you are still selling a polished turd to an unsuspecting customer. Why not show the coin as-is to the customer and let them decide if they want to buy it at whatever the reasonable market price might be, and the customer will be happy later knowing they got exactly what they paid for and you can sleep easier knowing you didn&#039;t sell a lemon disguised as an orange.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
