<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 1820213, member: 15929&quot;]I also think that attempting to pigeon hole a precise difference between conservation and restoration is an exercise in futility since both terms can mean many different things about many different subjects.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Restoration of Automobiles often involves many thing which would destroy a coins value. Namely sanding, priming and painting in addition to actually having parts cast and pured from scratch (such as Model T&#039;s or Model A&#039;s)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Conservation of ART involves careful cleaning of painted surfaces and proper storage techniques with limited lighting which causes colors to fade.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>For coins, conservation and restoration involve nothing more than &quot;messing&quot; with a coin to &quot;change&quot; its appearance and hopefully preserve that appearance for future generations.
