<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1348950, member: 26302&quot;]You should learn Jason. Get some dip, get some crummy, blackish toned junk silver, and practice. The day will come sir when you buy an old coin in great condition but has PVC or matte black tone that either you correct or will permanently destroy a coin. You need to learn what level of black corrosion is reversible, and what will always be junk silver. You need to know how to remove PVC contamination. Buying from the public you will someday see some horrible examples of coin storage, and the damage that has already been done. Knowing what can be fixed and what cannot is valuable knowledge for a dealer.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just to be clear, I am suggesting this to a dealer here. I am not advocating collectors going out en masse and doing this. Eventually Jason will be seeing 100 times the amount of coins most of us see, and its part of his learning process in evaluating coins to purchase if they are irreversibly damaged or not.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
