<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TomCorona, post: 640976, member: 17621&quot;]All you do by attempting to improve it is throw even more money into the coin and waste time that could be better spent in the pursuit of your hobby.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Respectfully....whether or not a coin has been &quot;improved&quot; is a matter of opinion sometimes depends what you&#039;re starting with. I believe what Boss further means is that to him, this IS a part of the hobby that he enjoys, so to him, it&#039;s not a waste of time, and this is part of the pursuit of his hobby that he obviously enjoys. To you.,it&#039;s a waste of time. One could argue that this whole forum and its&#039; posting thoughts and opinions is a waste of time,&nbsp; but again obviously, many enjoy it. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>if after 100 years of trying nobody has been able to find a way to improve a problem coin - why bother trying .</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So, cancer research should be given up. After all it&#039;s been a long time and noone has cured it yet. They have improved it, but not cured it, so, waste of time. The guy on here that sells &quot;Verdigone&quot;. He should have never even tried to invent it, using your logic, since it had never been accomplished before and &quot;problem coins are still problem coins&quot;, so don&#039;t bother with trying to use it, just move on I guess. Actually, why bother to put coins in Danscos, flips, or anything else? Protection? You could achieve protection in an airtight sealed container without see thru plastic. Why not do that exclusively then? Answer is obviously so one can LOOK at it, so therefore by default, looks must be of some value. Eye appeal and all that. I read in here somewhere that most all coins are &quot;problem coins&quot;, so none of those coins looks should never have anything in the way of &quot;look&quot; improvement ever done. So why bother with EZest, Verdigone, or the like? </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Now I know with a certainty that you personally would never try to fool anybody, that you would practice full disclosure in any case. But what about the person who buys that worked on coin of yours ? </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Shouldn&#039;t matter, cause, using your logic, worked coins are easily spotted, and true collectors are never fooled. That particular buyer might be fooled. Ok. Then perhaps they shouldn&#039;t be into collecting at all, since they can be fooled so easily.., or maybe they should be in there buying up all the &quot;problem&quot; coins, leaving all the genuine ones for the smart and saavy collectors such as yourself. Save you from &quot;wasting&quot; your time on even looking at the problem ones.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This never, ever touch coins except to admire them from a distance is just so absolutely&nbsp; ridiculous. I know I am just an uninformed novice, and I&#039;ll try to one day aspire to rise to your level of awareness, but my OPINION is that some coins are worth trying to improve, some are not, and some it would never matter regardless. Point is, doing so IS of value to Boss, and myself, and others, and since 90% of coins are all problematic anyway, why not take a shot sometimes? I don&#039;t think anyone doubts the Godly talents of the supreme purists, I just doubt their absolute judgement of the possibilities.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
