<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2277977, member: 19463&quot;]It has been some time since we had a thread that brought this to light but I said here that if I were granted a Super Power it would be to see the entire life if each of our coins from being made - to being hoarded - to being found - to being cleaned - to being collected, sold and resold.&nbsp; Part of it would just be interesting while another part would disclose fakes, tooling and quite a number of things now mysterious.&nbsp; I wonder what the world record is for a coin being saved in a sock drawer in conditions it does not even require dusting.&nbsp; Is there a single ancient coin that has never been cleaned?&nbsp; I know there are some that were cleaned a couple hundred years ago but tat is 10% of its life.&nbsp; I can&#039;t remember how this came up before but a bath every couple thousand years seems within reason.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
