<p>[QUOTE="Insider, post: 2554126, member: 24314"]IMO, the line between cleaning a coin's surface or removing lumps of corrosion and then silver plating the coin is called "COIN DOCTORING." It is not "strictly" coin conservation but who would know in this case. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Again, it does not matter the outcome. Some "doctors" are better than others and the person who worked on/"saved" this coin ranks with the best I've ever seen. I should send it in to be slabbed - If holdered, you have a real prize. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>As I posted before, this is night & day to me.
