<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mikey Zee, post: 2113323, member: 72818&quot;]I also favor wear over roughness, Doug-----I think it&#039;s the lesser of two &#039;evils&#039;&nbsp; when it comes to eye appeal...But even that is relative: excessive wear can trump roughness when the former is severe...and some of the members have shown some excellent examples of minor conservation that had dramatic results..And, no, I do not favor cleaning, tooling and smoothing that eliminates the &#039;ancient&#039; character of the coin...But &#039;improvement&#039; of the coin can simply be a personal preference</p><p><br /></p><p>I also agree with Doug and others that small flan cracks etc&nbsp; not being a great concern to me and actually allow the coin to be affordable to me on my rather limited budget--otherwise, I&#039;d be buying only two or three coins the entire year tops!! Yikes, That&#039;s a nightmare scenario LOL[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
