<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cringely, post: 915241, member: 22271&quot;]That does not prevent you from expanding on an original article that you have published. Prior to publication, I would get an agreement from the publisher that you have derivative rights (lawyers, am I using the correct term?) to use (and expand on) your original work in subsequent articles/books/movie rights :kewl:/etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>My personal opinion is that I would be very interested in your efforts. My guess is that you will end up with a moderate page count monograph. Depending on how ambitious you are, it could be the first chapter in what is really needed: a complete book on coin preservation and conservation.</p><p><br /></p><p>Weimar White&#039;s <u>Coin Chemistry</u> is a good start, but (in my opinion) barely adequate when dealing with problem coins. I know that many CTers consider cleaning coins to be the work of Satan, but there are some coins that really need it. NCS does a very nice job, but only on certain coins and for not insignificant amounts of money. One example that is missing from <u>Coin Chemistry</u> is how to remove solder from a gold coin. I&#039;m sure that other CTers can suggest other preservation/conservation topics.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
