<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tonedcoins, post: 1345036, member: 25155&quot;]I personally like the restoration work they have done. They are not damaging the bills IMO (which are more fragile than metal/coins). I also do compare the work they have done to that of a doctor who &quot;alters&quot; coins (but damages them). See, I would accept more a bill (paper money) to be restored than that of a coin. For the simple fact that a bill is very fragile and when they are rare, the best thing to do is to restore them so that its &quot;history&quot; keeps circulating (as a collectible) in numismatists hands.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now... If that person was plugging a whole on a coin or polishing it, in the &quot;attempt&quot; to restore the coin, then I would be completely against it. Coins are much easier to maintain in good conditions and last longer than that of paper money. </p><p><br /></p><p>Another thing I noticed is that I have seen people ATing coins but complain about the &quot;restoration&quot; of these beautiful notes. Why is that? Why is it that the restoration of these paper money is such a big issue?</p><p><br /></p><p>Let me note that yes, everyone has their opinions and the right to agree and disagree. This is simply one of my opinions when I say &quot;I like the work they did and don&#039;t have an issue with the restorations on paper money&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
