<p>[QUOTE=&quot;paland, post: 307442, member: 10011&quot;]I think you are so wrong on this. If the coin is made better without destroying any layers, then I see no problem with this. The key part of this is NO destruction of any of the coin.&nbsp; You are letting some holier-than-thou attitude interfere with logical thinking. To make an ugly coin beautiful without destroying it is a wonderful thing and actually could be good for &quot;The Hobby&quot;, regardless whether you think it is not. There is an entire company that has coin restoration as it&#039;s main focus. You don&#039;t and shouldn&#039;t determine what is right for &quot;the hobby&quot;.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>And RESPECT for the hobby, wow, what can I say. So you think this person has no respect for the hobby? Just because they don&#039;t have the same views you have?&nbsp; You don&#039;t know this person. This person may be very professional at what they do. And Ethical? What does ethics have to do with it? I think it would be unethical to sell a VERY UGLY coin to someone. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Profit is going to be a part of the hobby since supply/demand is in the equation. Otherwise you would have to say that every coin dealer who is out for any profit is unethical. That is not so. The profit motive why the prices of some coins are high, supply and demand. We all are in it for some profit one way or another. If not, then be happy with raw, G-4 coins in your books.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I never like to get critical of anyone less I show my own shortcomings, but this was a very judgemental post full of near innuendo claims and I just couldn&#039;t &quot;ethically&quot; sit by without saying anything.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
