<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Inspector43, post: 26545709, member: 89213&quot;]I think macho and investing play a big role. My standard has always been eye appeal. The cleaned or not cleaned characteristics are used as leverage more than standards. As a collector, I never planned on selling any of my coins; trade but not sell. Therefore, unless it was abrasive cleaning, I don&#039;t care much. Today, mine is better than yours, is more important than ever.</p><p><br /></p><p>The same with restored dates. What you end up with is proof positive of date and mint mark. If the restoration is carried out in a manner that is not distracting you can fill a hole and wait for a higher grade to come along. I&#039;ve restored dates and finished with some nice coins. both of the following were smooth when I started them. They won&#039;t win awards, but they are real.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1691716[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1691717[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
