The rest of your post is not entirely correct including the following:&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;restoration&quot; is a non-abrasive method of removing unwanted items on a coin&#039;s surface without causing any abrasive damage to the surfaces.&nbsp; Both of these methods produce altered surfaces which may or may not cause unwanted damage.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
