<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LaCointessa, post: 2813687, member: 87186&quot;]Hi [USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER]! Hi [USER=44132]@Bing[/USER]!</p><p><br /></p><p>I thoroughly understand that cleaning ancient coins should not be compared to, included in, nor confused with the activity of serious collectors of superb specimens of ancient coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Both my mother and a wonderful spiritual guide I know have said that truly wise people are those who learn from the negative experiences of others and avoid needing to personally experience the same negative outcome. I have been able to easily do that on most of the big things; but for other things, it is impossible to not try them for myself. That&#039;s where I am with the cleaning of ancient coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>I won&#039;t be purchasing more crusty coins. I have quite a few - enough to satisfy my curiosity.</p><p><br /></p><p>Although there is not much of a budget for it, John Anthony&#039;s auctions almost always have something I like and can afford. I like the idea of acquiring coins of respected CT collectors even the coins they decided to sell off; and, I enjoy doing that as I&#039;m cleaning these crusties.</p><p><br /></p><p>I just wanted to assure you that I won&#039;t clog up CT with coin cleaning posts; and, that as I enjoy drooling over your gorrrrgeous coins (and those of others on CT), I am also working on putting together for myself what I hope will be a respectable collection of ancient coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>I appreciate your feedback and opinions and take them all to heart and mind.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
