<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Coins4Eli, post: 24885532, member: 150554&quot;]Coin doctoring? Sure I guess. Potato, patoto. You say doctoring I say conservation. At the end of the day they are both CLEANED.</p><p>Would you rather have a corroded spesimen that will continue to deteriorate or an improved stable one that looks appealing?</p><p><br /></p><p>You are correct. It would not CAC because the surfaces are recolored. NGC knows this and STILL straight grades them, a lot of early copper has been cleaned and recolored and NGC has made the choice to grade them.</p><p><br /></p><p>You are entitled to your opinion. I will be posting pictures of the coin when I get home.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another note, I am not doing this to DECEIVE anyone, I am purely doing this to stabilize coins in my own collection. I have no intent to ever sell these coins, and if I did I would be sure to clearly mark that the surfaces had been altered.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
