<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 4463777, member: 19463&quot;]If we start with the theory that all ancient coins have been cleaned to some degree, we do not need to be concerned with how many times but with how the cleaning made the coin better or worse.&nbsp; The slabbed photo shows terrible surfaces.&nbsp; The small photo may just look better than the first because the small size hides the &#039;problems&#039;.&nbsp; I see nothing to disclose unless the photo was taken before even more cleaning.&nbsp; Sometimes we are not dealing with improving a coin as much as we are making it awful in a different way.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
