<p>[QUOTE="David@PCC, post: 2488351, member: 80556"]Smoothing is bad because it is an attempt to either repair modifications on the coin or trying to modify the coin. I think 95%+ of collectors prefer unaltered coins, and depending of the severity can really damage the value or make it uncollectable. I personally prefer unaltered, cleaning is ok but once the metal is tampered with it won't touch it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
