<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2731123, member: 19463&quot;]I&#039;m sure the coin had a very confusing, thick multicolor patina and it would be hard to know when to stop scraping it away without making the slight smoothing turn into something we would consider inappropriate tooling.&nbsp; Most coins seem to get cleaned one step farther than we might have liked if we had known in advance that the result would look that way.&nbsp; I might not love the look shown here but I&#039;m not sure the coin as it was before they started had the potential to be processed into a real looker.&nbsp; I don&#039;t consider this inappropriate as much as unfortunate.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
