<p>[QUOTE="Goldstone, post: 593235, member: 18655"]IMO of a new collector I don't like cleaning I actually like the natural darker color that a coin gains as it ages, so why one would want to remove that beats me, and if a coin is so destroyed why would you even want it in your collection? as to toners I am staying away from toned coins in general because i cannot tell the difference between NT and AT, you mention art, and furniture but those pieces are much more complex and parts of them can be replaced for example rotted wood on an antique couch, however if you start replacing parts of coins that become worn down, how does one differentiate from the "restored coin" or "counterfeit grade"[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
