<p>[QUOTE=&quot;+VGO.DVCKS, post: 8061891, member: 110504&quot;]Thanks, [USER=89213]@Inspector43[/USER], for your valued observation&nbsp; regarding the distinction between &#039;cleaning&#039; and &#039;tooling.&#039; </p><p>Right, thanks to the inherent limitations of the Englsih language (WS notwithstanding --granted, he did the best he could), it&#039;s true that all of this inhabits a slippery interpretive, and correspondingly semantic slope.</p><p>...Except, especially in the case of Roman detector finds, only most obviously from the 3rd and 4th centuries, cleaning is Called For.</p><p>You start to get a serious departure from this principle once a dealer does anything --after the initial find-- to make the coin &#039;prettier,&#039; just to sell it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
