<p>[QUOTE="gsimonel, post: 7940699, member: 82549"]Any coin in the $100/$200 price range with an obviously fake patina should be returned. Any coin in the $10/20 range should be cleaned up and kept. In between? Depends on how good it looks after you've removed the fake patina. One warning, though: when you remove a fake patina, you are "altering" the coin. A dealer not interested in return business from you could refuse to take it back because of this alteration: one more sleazeball dealer to avoid in the future.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
