<p>[QUOTE=&quot;eddiespin, post: 6331290, member: 4920&quot;]Bottom line is bad things can happen when the surface integrity is breached, and that means by anything. What I&#039;ve long coached the kids is don&#039;t peremptorily rule any coin out for it. Rather, recognize what your eyes are looking at, and assess the value accordingly. Don&#039;t get hung up on labels, like cleaned, tooled, or whizzed, because they&#039;re but abstractions. Keep your eyes on the coin. Is the luster compromised? Are there scratches on it? Describe what your eyes are seeing, and care less of how it got there. Leave those mysteries to the detectives among us, you&#039;re collecting coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
