[QUOTE="YOC, post: 2554106, member: 58941"]Just a few points... I have first hand evidence that museums destroy coins with severe mass cleaning methods in order to identify them, but not preserve them. I do not like their methods, I wouldnt work for them and they wouldnt have me in any case. I am no genius.... I paid alot of money to obtain some techniques which had been developed by someone else. I gave my word the techniques would not be divulged to anyone else...ever. Maybe if you gave your answers to questions 2 and 3 it would be helpful... 2. Do you think it has been fraudulently altered? explain YOUR thoughts... 3. What brown coin? Are we looking at the same photographs? The coin surfaces may appear to be rough after cleaning, but they are perfectly smooth. The silvering which remains is patchy and gives the impression of a rough surface. It is hard to photograph such a coin, as has been discussed before.[/QUOTE]
