<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Boss, post: 640523, member: 15110&quot;]I don&#039;t want any lacquer on <span style="color: red">any</span> of my coins. It&#039;s not about the money. I won&#039;t sell dishonestly as was done to me and if I sell saying, &quot;Hey buy my wonderful lacquered coin&quot; how much will I get for it. I paid CH AU money for this coin so its a loss, but if this coin can have the lacquer removed and retone naturally over time why would I not do that?? Just because I don&#039;t know the way to improve the coin doesn&#039;t mean there isn&#039;t one. Now that I posted, I attained the benefit of more knowledgeable collectors with their ideas. If I get all the lacquer off the coin and it&#039;s beat up so be it. I think I actually got most of it off anyway. I just needed a more appropriate method. </p><p>Preaching about not buying problem coins is of no value in these situations. Naturally I know now what I didn&#039;t know 2 years ago. I still own these coins now. I want them to be a natural as possible. WE all know that problem coins retone and look more normal over the years (if placed in a toning type environment). Lacquered coins will not change virtually at all. I will let the scratches tone and in time it will be a prettier coin. This isn&#039;t about a mistake for me, but about learning how to restore this coin to it&#039;s most natural state.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Don&#039;t get me wrong. Not upset, despite my tone. I think I react to the &quot;why bother&quot; philosophy. Problem coins are not WORTHLESS, just Worth LESS than nonproblem coins. I am a believer in coin Rehab. Let&#039;s all pull out the sobriety chips. I&#039;m at 360 days :secret::secret:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
