<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BadThad, post: 1248394, member: 17261&quot;]Very well said Doug! That sums up why there&#039;s no &quot;official&quot; book on conservation. My book is primarily about copper coin verdigris. I discuss conservation methods, but in terms directed at copper coins. Coins with problems are far too diverse to safely specify a conservation method and just having a general handbook out on the topic is a receipe for disaster IMO. It&#039;s bad enough that the internet makes it easy to discover cleaning methods.....99% of what people suggest will permanently damage a coin. Newbies read these and use them with the belief it&#039;s fine because some &quot;coin guy&quot; said to do this or that. Well, there&#039;s a big difference between a coin collector and a coin conservationist.....just like the difference between a race car driver and his mechanic, you wouldn&#039;t trust one with the others job.
