zxcccxz Pillar of the Community Canada 5417 Posts	Posted 08/26/2015 10:34 pm That is the one Canadian variety I really want over all the others, but I don't have want to settle for a low end F-VF coin and can't quite afford anything over XF, so I'm still on the hunt. That AU-58 of yours looks real nice, a lot of these I see are in problem free holders despite being cleaned or whizzed. Very nice Edited by zxcccxz 08/27/2015 4:34 pm Report this Post to the Staff

canadian-varieties Pillar of the Community Canada 1442 Posts	Posted 08/27/2015 1:17 pm Doug...have you considered this cleaned VF20? I bought it to restore it but it had a LOT of hairlines, so I returned it. Great detail though. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Canada-1858...em2ee53a1729 Report this Post to the Staff

AgHoarder Pillar of the Community Canada 818 Posts	Posted 08/27/2015 4:50 pm Canadian-varieties, I'm curious to know more about restoration of coins. Is there somewhere you could point me to learn more on this subject? Report this Post to the Staff
okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5588 Posts	Posted 08/27/2015 5:18 pm There's really no such thing as "restoration" of any coin, unless it is ultimately rare, and by rare I mean less than 10 known. Anything else is whizzing, polishing, cleaning, dipping or foreign applied surface ... ALL meant to alter the appearance and, ultimately, deceive the potetial buyer. Most TPG's now will not grade other than "authentic" for coins with waxes and other surface agents hiding the anomolies. Report this Post to the Staff

Most TPG's now will not grade other than "authentic" for coins with waxes and other surface agents hiding the anomolies. There are many ways to restore cleaned coins without permanently marring the surfaces. I often do this with ancient coinage, however, it's not the same with modern coinage I suppose. However, I agree that any reputable TPG will not straight grade a problem coin. The point of the restoration is to make the coin more acceptable to the eye. I had a 1872-H AU 25c that was cleaned lightly, I left it in a sulfur rich cardboard for a few months, came out with a wonderful even brown patina, and straight graded at ICCS as AU-55. The originally bright surfaces would have fared much worse, a cleaned designation or NET grade perhaps. Report this Post to the Staff
