<p>[QUOTE="C-B-D, post: 1868022, member: 43130"]There's nothing wrong with trying to smooth out a giant "X" off a coin if it bothers you. Some folks taught me long ago to be completely honest in my own listings, though, and it has paid off in repeat customers who appreciate total transparency. So I'd recommend saying, "old scratches removed" when it comes time to sell.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as removing scratches, it would require at the very least a silver polishing cloth, I would think. Careful blending, with an understanding that you're going to end up with a brightly cleaned coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>A coin with graffiti isn't "market acceptable" anyway, so smoothing it out/cleaning it is just changing the primary problem from one thing to another in my opinion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
