I very much enjoy working on coins to improve their condition. However it is not a quick or easy skill to learn. Nor does it have much of a payback for coins worth less than $1K. Your time is better spent training for the NBA, the Indy 500 or becoming a Rock Star. Still, none of my TPG submissions have come back in a body bag.
This effort took about 7 hours and converted a 10 cent coin into a 20 cent coin. Do you really want to go down that road?
