<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LostDutchman, post: 1325436, member: 16994&quot;]Doug, </p><p><br /></p><p>I agree with this statement&nbsp; completely. The situation I face is that coins presented to me have not&nbsp; always been stored properly. I face the decision to either leave the&nbsp; coins be... in an noncollectable junk state because of their previous&nbsp; owners poor storage decisions, or to experiment and look for a way to&nbsp; conserve the coins to a state... that while not perfect... and somewhat&nbsp; controversial may still be collectible. </p><p><br /></p><p>Those of you that know&nbsp; me personally know that I believe in full disclosure in my business. I&nbsp; have no problem divulging my conservation methods for everyone to see and to comment on as I have done here. I will say that this is not the norm... I would say that 95+% of the coins I see require no conservation at all. Some coins require an acetone bath, some coins require a well executed dip (GASP!), and some coins such as the ones posted need more. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d love to hear of other methods folks have used with similar coins as the point of this post was in the spirit of education...myself included.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
