<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3373476, member: 19463&quot;]It seems silly to have to say that we should look at our coins on a regular basis.&nbsp; Once a coin in my possession is suspect of BD, I start a pattern of watching daily for a few days, then weekly for a few weeks followed by monthly for a year. If nothing is seen during that time, all I am out is having to look at my coins.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>We hear bronze disease called coin cancer and there will be people who point out (correctly) that this is not a &#039;disease&#039; or a &#039;cancer&#039; but the correct actions are really quite similar.&nbsp; Be watchful for changes, treat things that actually need treating rather than taking every pill advertised on TV &#039;just in case&#039; and avoid medical advice from those who know less about it than you do.&nbsp; Perhaps the biggest similarity to &#039;cancer&#039; is that we treat &#039;patients&#039; as being in remission rather than as having been cured.&nbsp; That simply means there may be longer spaces between exams but there will never be a time we stop watching.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
