There is no wrong way to collect, so if it suits you, go for it! Example of a hoard done well -- in the upcoming Heritage Auction, there is a collection, or hoard, of Prooflike classic commems. Heck, I barely know that these things existed), but this collector picked up every example he could find, regardless of whether he already owned one or ten, from the relatively common ones to some coins where there are only one or two examples known as prooflikes.]]> Thu, 05 Nov 2009 10:04:22 EST http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=3562760#Post3562760 Posted by dean1345:

Whats' up Amadeus? Sounds like a tricky situation. Copper is tough to deal with especially when lots of minty red remains. Sometimes in an effort to improve something we take away a bit of the coin's original character. In my experiences with NCS, sometimes spots come off and the piece is amazing, sometimes the intensity of the spots can be reduced, sometimes the spots remain. I have had all of the above.

About 10 years ago I was in Osaka and visited the mint museum. It was well worth spending a morning there. Everyone was super friendly (even more so than elsewhere in the country) and the collection of the large gold Obans was neat to see. I picked up a neat "fun facts about coins and how coins are made" book for kids in Japanese at the gift shop. ]]> Wed, 04 Nov 2009 00:01:09 EST
