<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 7835571, member: 19463&quot;]From a curiosity standpoint, it would be interesting how much is paid to turn a sows ear into a silk purse.&nbsp; Obviously every job would be different but I wonder if the &#039;medical bills&#039; account for a good portion of the added cost so it would cost as much total even if the seller described it as &#039;improved&#039;.&nbsp; I assume most of the people buying such coins have no idea that anything was done but there may be a class of wealthy collectors who simply do not care.&nbsp; A local museum here was very proud a couple years ago when they did a massive re-restoration of their best statue consisting of taking it apart and reversing the errors made when it was restored the first time years ago. Coins, supposedly, differ in that they exist in conditions that do not need such restoration.&nbsp; I have to wonder if that is a fact or just evidence that even the best of us are too stupid to know what is going on.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
