<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2153798, member: 19463"]Great article but I can't help thinking how hard we are on coins with a little surface smoothing. I'm still not ready to seek out well tooled coins of the level regularly accepted in the painting market and, it seems, helmets. I probably would have preferred they clean off the pieces enough to make copies and then 'restore' a few dozen replicas (clearly marked, of course) for museums all over the world rather than patching up the original this much.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
