<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robinjojo, post: 7836489, member: 110226&quot;]While it is true that the legends and some of the design elements are much clearer, although I do question the accuracy some of the work, notably on the reverse, this is a case of something gained and something lost.&nbsp; What has been lost, really, is the ancient aspect of this ancient coin.&nbsp; After the work, it looks like a coin that might have come out of someone&#039;s shop yesterday.</p><p><br /></p><p>Does it matter?&nbsp; I guess that comes down to one&#039;s preferences or values, but I think it compromises the coin&#039;s integrity as one produced nearly thousand years ago. Sometimes, a little crusty is a good thing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
