<p>[QUOTE="Boss, post: 585057, member: 15110"]The bad part about lacquer to me is trying to remove evenly. This stuff is stubborn and one part of the coins (I have only posted one coin here because I do not have a good series of pics throughout the stages) get the lacquer removed and the other parts still have it on. So what happens is the area of coin with the lacquer off starts to get fried and all dried out. Toning eventually starts to be removed in that area with prolonged soaking. Uneven toning and new scratches start coming out. All coins have some natural oils. The end result is the coins gets uglier the longer you soak it. Very depressing. And yes, GD. I have no problem owning my mistakes for the benefit of others. I always say to my employess at work that " all of our problems are like a big sign on our forehead- everyone else can see them but us, until we look in the mirror". This is not a coypywrited saying :kewl::goofer::goofer: so use at will. Just a bossism[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
