<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Seattlite86, post: 3973947, member: 59737&quot;]I agree that safe and acceptable are relative terms. There&#039;s a reason some cleaned coins get a pass by TPGs and others don&#039;t. I guess I&#039;m trying to figure out what my level of acceptable is. If there aren&#039;t obvious hairlines on Mark&#039;s coins, I would consider his efforts acceptable in my book. The coin is improved and the surface does not look more impaired than it already was. If anything, it looks better.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as metal flowing to the rims... no doubt the metal can most easily flow to the center, where the most space is, but unless the collar is the exact same size as the planchet, some metal should inevitably flow outward. That being said, it makes sense to say that the metal is flowing towards the center though, as the flow lines are going to be from the metal rushing to the center.&nbsp; I&#039;ll be more careful in my explanation of metal flow when I share it in the future.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
