One of the craziest questions ever posed on this forum.
One of the craziest questions ever posed on this forum.
May very well be but it does expose an interesting dilemma for those in the DO NOT CLEAN camp. To remain true they choose the unaltered version even though evidence suggests the slab is the correct choice. They have no way to defend their decision so they lose all credibility.
But more importantly, they are forcing the DNC concept into a situation that requires additional consideration/flexibility - dirt coins. Exposing dates or varieties, neutralizing corrosion, etc. As SAP aptly points out, even the purist archaeologist has to do it.
What I'd like to see is the DNC camp just bite their tongue (aka: shut their pie hole) when it comes to dirt coins - hold your ground for general circulation coins. There is a significant difference between the two.
Thanks to all that voted.
I swing a metal detector and have a knack for finding dirty old coins.
