<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2536480, member: 19463&quot;]Their page is very interesting and informative.&nbsp; A lot of the question of what is proper depends on whether you sell the coin as &#039;makeup applied&#039; or natural.&nbsp; Current culture allows lipstick on a pig and artificial bacon flavoring.&nbsp; Oil painting are cleaned and restored to erase a few centuries and no one complains.&nbsp; I can &#039;Photoshop&#039; images (coins or otherwise) taken with my camera.&nbsp; In each case the question is how much and how secretly the work is done.</p><p><br /></p><p>I rather like turkey bacon/sausage and even nitrate free turkey bacon.&nbsp; These are neither &#039;bacon&#039; nor piglike. The labels, properly, are required to say what is inside.&nbsp; Sometimes I think we would be better off if we called things what they are and let people decide if they want Maybelline on their noses or on their coins.&nbsp; I enjoy vegetables but will never understand the need to create meat free meat (Tofurkey).&nbsp; Parallels between coin collecting and cultural strangeness abound.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
