<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JBK, post: 44945, member: 1101&quot;]BTW, I am a little confused here.&nbsp; NOS has been haranguing the Forum for weeks over carved coins, saying that we should preserve everything in original condition for future generations, yet when it comes to notes, it is OK to destroy their value in an effort to make them look pretty.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Another poster also mentioned that if the coins/notes are for their collection and not for investment, it is OK to make them look good since they have no intention of selling them.&nbsp; How many nice, old coins have we seen that have been dipped, cleaned, or otherwise “improved” by the person who owned them?&nbsp; Damaging a collectable coin is irresponsible for the hobby, and it will diminish the value of the item.&nbsp; And, no mater what anyone intends, someday their coin collection will be sold (by them or their heirs).&nbsp; It is better to preserve the value for whoever is going to sell the coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
