54dollarcoin Valued Member Canada 475 Posts	Posted 05/13/2012 8:52 pm Thank you trout and I should add right now there is a tremendous debate raging in the US with what constitutes restoration and what is coin doctoring a most enlightening battle!! Check out the PNG website as well!. The British museum has been restoring Ancients and Medievals for a couple of Centuries. Restoration saves coins and abrasive improper cleaning kills them!!

chequer Pillar of the Community Canada 4227 Posts	Posted 05/14/2012 10:46 am My comment had to do with the original poster's coin. There is a difference between restoration and aesthetics. This coin has no issues, so in my opinion (only my opinion), treatment would be to make the coin prettier for resale... the concern being profit and not the wellfare of the coin. That's a dealer I want to avoid and will do every effort to do so. Good luck. Report this Post to the Staff
54dollarcoin Valued Member Canada 475 Posts	Posted 05/14/2012 12:58 pm Actually this coin does have issues. The biggest issue being that the coin is plain and simple just begging to be cut out of the ICCS holder and sold either raw or submitted to another grader ie. NGC. Coin restoration done properly is a perfectly acceptable solution to save a coin from further damage or problems. If you safely remove PVC green slime is one great example. Welfare of the coin is ALWAYS a key consideration. Report this Post to the Staff

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10464 Posts	Posted 05/17/2012 08:46 am If I had to guess, I would have said Fort Street, nestled in amongst the antique stores. I always thought a place like Sidney would do well with a coin store, but overhead would be nasty now that Sidney is trendy...
