<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 967799, member: 19065&quot;]I&#039;m sorry if I sound redundant and a bit confused here but I&#039;m not certain anyone is getting my point about this... Why is coin conservation by NCS = market acceptable and note conservation = not-market acceptable, a dirty-little secret. </p><p><br /></p><p>For the purpose of getting past definitions of <i>conservation</i>, let&#039;s replace notes with coins in the <a href="http://www.ncscoin.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ncscoin.com/" rel="nofollow">NCS</a> model and ask why is it okay with coins and not notes when clearly it is an open and accepted practice to conserve coins in the hobby of numismatics and it is clearly something available to paper as it is practiced scientifically and executed frequently on documents from antiquity through modern documents in need of care as well as valuable (monetarily or culturally) works of art on paper. When I say <i>works of art on paper,</i> I include engravings on rag papers, which are afterall what the majority of paper currency are themselves.</p><p><br /></p><p>I hope this helps get to what I&#039;m asking about. Thanks for everyone&#039;s indulgence and patience.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
