<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 2925951, member: 19165&quot;]Honestly, I&#039;ll tell you my real opinion of the book: I own it, I read it. He actually does a pretty good job going through the science of it, and does some pretty interesting experiments. </p><p><br /></p><p>However, he approaches it with an extremely anti-toning, pure-blast-white-coins-only bias. I&#039;ve never read a coin book with such a strong bias.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Mr. White (if ever a name was appropriate...) considers all toning and patina to be damage, and is quite disparaging on the subject. Towards the end, the book reads more like a commercial for Intercept shields (which I don&#039;t think are even made any more). </p><p><br /></p><p>So, take the book for what it is, understand its biased, and learn from what you can. (Most of) his science is good. If you want a counterpart, read about the subject from a different viewpoint in my book, linked in my signature below.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
