<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1687225, member: 19463"]People who won't own a cleaned coin should not buy ancients. Natural silver 2000 years old is at least dark gray. That is the subject of another thread here. When does cleaning stop and tooling start? Is smoothing a form of heavy cleaning or light tooling? All this silliness over toned US will end when all those rainbow coins grey over. I don't claim any of my coins are fully original surfaced. Some are still pretty.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
