constanius Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 I think it is a bit like women & make-up, some look good with or without it, some look........... It is similar to whether you prefer toned or untoned silver coins. Sometimes the effect of toning can be beautiful, sometimes not! I do not think anybody now would/should lacquer coins/medals but it is a part of the history of numismatics and to have some in a collection is okay. Mind, nowadays we just slab them instead.

hiho Posted July 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 Just a quick thank you to Constanius for the excellent show and tell. There are several people here always willing to share their knowledge and he is at the top of the list... PS - Mrs. HiHo looks good without makeup. Though she will tell you otherwise.
