<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ldhair, post: 24887056, member: 11540&quot;]The hard part about this topic is being able to look at a coin and knowing if the coin can be helped. That&#039;s not something you learn overnight and every coin is different. The same process will not work on every coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>NCS and ICG are the best in my opinion. They know when to say no, the coin should not be messed with. At the same time they know when something should be done to protect the coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>Sometimes it&#039;s sad with a valuable coin. It may need help but all that will do is to stop further damage. That can be a tough choice.</p><p>It&#039;s not easy to sell an ugly raw coin and conservation is the best choice. Even a details holder will help make it possible to market a coin. The buyer has a better understanding of the coin and may be willing to live with the problem. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have no problem with those that wish to play around with coins that are only worth face value. Not a bad way to start learning but many take it too far and start working on coins with much more value. </p><p>That never seems to work out well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
