<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Nerva, post: 2762358, member: 87761&quot;]Thank you for the response. Vcoins are in a less defensible position because a seller has disregarded an agreement to flag repatinated coins without sanction. But I do think that as one of the most reputable auction houses you do have a responsibility to uphold standards. If, as often happened in the past, an art dealer had pictures repainted to make them more saleable - say, adding figures to a landscape - it would not be an excuse to say that buyers like it better that way. I don&#039;t believe that the leading auction houses would knowingly accept consignments from such a dealer, and I think the term &#039;faked&#039; would be fair to describe the transformation. I don&#039;t accept that no damage is done when acetone and mechanical scraping is need to remove it, and coins previously shown on these discussions seem also to have been smoothed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
