<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John D (Bud) Williams, post: 1885707, member: 67853&quot;]I asked a question about MS70 that I was interested in finding some more information on. BooksB4Coins had posted a link to the above article. Below is hopefully a beginning to a conversation that I for one would love to have.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thanks BooksB4Coins : ... I just read this and it told me a lot. I read in a Lincoln Cent book a few years back that in early 20s a leading coin publication&#039;s president wrote an editorial about collectors &quot;not cleaning their coins are negligent&quot;. I&#039;ll have to dig that up.</p><p>Having said that, I wouldn&#039;t touch any of my coins, even though most have been treated some time in the past (pre 1934). Dave Bowers who is quoted in the above article is the founder Stacks and Bowers and an authority most at least recognize if not trust. I have heard it said MANY times that all silver coins at one time in the past have been treated in some manner.</p><p>YET, I have seen plenty of coins with nice strong flow lines. These flow lines (or so I&#039;ve been lead to believe) are so delicate that any treatment would destroy them.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>You folks who are the old salts who&#039;ve been doing this professionally for several years please take a minute and chime in. We all as newbies (2 years in the business in no where near enough to even be considered professional) need this valuable information. Thanks in Advance / Bud[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
