<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paul M., post: 3762424, member: 73165&quot;]Right, of course. The point is there are right ways and wrong ways to “work on” a coin or a painting. Modern coin collectors have one set of standards, ancient coin collectors another, and what would be fully acceptable for one might be totally unacceptable for the other. Ancient coin collectors rarely bother with acetone, for instance, but would think nothing of brushing a coin with a stiff brush&nbsp; to remove grime and deposits. Modern coin collectors would bring out the pitchforks if they found out you brushed a coin that wasn’t already a problem coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
