[QUOTE="bhp3rd, post: 753093, member: 16510"][b]The moment originality is affected is when it starts to hurt.[/b] The moment originality is affected is when it starts to hurt. In other words with knowledge many circ. coins can be improved by various methods but you must have the knowledge first of what coin are supposed to look like and if this procedure your about to do will adversly effect it. You must also know what a ruined coin looks like and why and how it was ruined and by what method was it ruined. The only way you can get this type knowledge is through experience and looking at thousands, 10's of thousands of coins. That is why there is such panic when someone asks these type questions. We suspect the person asking has not looked at tens of thousands of coins and a good coin may be ruined. Plus there is no rush to do this to a coin until you know. So,,, if you work 30 or more hours a week at coins, you go to shows, look at tens of thousands of coins, ask many people who have knowledge, practice on coins only worth face value and wait about ten years, (five at least) then you to can satrt doing this for yourself. If I knew any short cut I would tell you, there are none.[/QUOTE]
