[QUOTE="Kurisu, post: 7396977, member: 117063"]Not sure what you're asking... These tone in a variety of shades over time and vary in lightness... Polish almost always lightens... But with coins...it always ruins. Once it's polished it's basically a novelty and unless it's an incredibly rare variety it's basically worthless in regards to numismatic value. In general most of us experienced collectors can tell at a glance if a coin has been cleaned/polished. It's not really something we do. There are however methods of 'restoration' that do not involve any abrasion on the coin...in fact we don't even touch the coin, other than holding it by the edges.[/QUOTE]
