    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    He also advertises in The Numismatist.

    BTW, Allen does a great job. I've sent a few damaged coins to him. Here's an example:

    so this is legit ?????? How do you restore details ? plug holes ? don't you then have a very nice but very altered coin ?
    I don't get it.

    So what is the problem? Your coin is much improved.

    Cool. I guess the point is that before, you had a not-nice, yet still very altered coin. Now you have a nice one. Nothing wrong with that, IMO. The only place you might have an issue is when someone tries to sell it as original. I think if I were in his trade, I might put a tiny monogram on my work.
