(I remember at one time the National Numismatic Cabinet coins were polished but we now know better.)</p><p><br /></p><p>The skill with which the task is done is not really at issue here as much as the ethical question of should it and can we then pass these coins off with others certified (at least in the past) to be original coins. Is it totally honest? That&#039;s what I was thinking.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
