<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kentucky, post: 1325729, member: 33176&quot;]I have to somewhat disagree here with you.&nbsp; I am far from an expert, but when watching &quot;Antiques Roadshow&quot;, the subject of restoration comes up often.&nbsp; A bad restoration can ruin the value of an object, but the appraisers often tell the owners of artworks that a good restoration can increase the value significantly.&nbsp; Now I am just imagining a torn piece of paper currency being repaired.&nbsp; Not acceptable.&nbsp; How about a coin being re-lustered or re-plated - sacrilege.&nbsp; It is interesting what can be done to acceptably &quot;clean&quot; coins and conserve them without interfering with their value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
