<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Inspector43, post: 8184699, member: 89213&quot;][USER=118540]@sand[/USER] Thanks for the comments. These are good comments and good questions.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve been collecting since 1948 and there isn&#039;t much left for me to collect. So, I got into Uncleaned Ancients a couple of years ago. Getting uncleaned coins that are virtually impossible to identify and then bringing them to correct attribution is my way of getting coins out of the wild.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have cleaned and attributed more than 120. I try really hard not to doing any tooling or reach base metal. The subject coin will be smoothed (not tooling in my opinion) and protected. I feel that some of my coins I became too aggressive with, but most are in the acceptable range. And my coins are not being sold.</p><p><br /></p><p>Every time I get comments like those in this post, I review what I am doing. Therefore, thanks again for the feedback.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are a couple of my finished products to give an idea of where I want my coins to end up.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1431545[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1431546[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
