    LACQUERING PROBLEMS

    Ed Krivoniak writes: "Regarding Dick Johnson's email lauding
    the lacquering of coins, I have a few words to say. Every
    lacquered coin I have purchased over the years has had
    major problems when the lacquer was removed. These
    problems are mainly many large scratches over the entire
    surface of the coins. They were probably caused by
    improper cleaning of the coin originally.

    The problem with lacquering is not that heavy concentrations
    of the lacquer are unsightly but that the lacquer fills up the
    crevices and makes the damage impossible to see.

    This has also happened in modern times with dealers wiping
    nose oil on the surfaces of Morgan dollars to remove hairlines
    and trying to get a higher grade."
