<p>[QUOTE="edteach, post: 24478729, member: 85141"]I appreciate the help and opinions. My opinion is if a coin is obscured by green oxidization and grime, to use a restorer that removes that but not the patina is OK. When a coin has been only treated to remove build up of things not related to the patina I prefer that look. Build up of green oxidization and old oil and grime is very unattractive to me. I buy coins because of how they look, what I like. I would never clean a coin or try to make it shiny again. But as this one turned out IMO its now a nice looking coin. As it was was OK but I don't like that the crevasse had all that garbage built up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
