Restoring Long Lost Relics

Some refer to it as cleaning, others call it conservation. We approach it as a restoration. Our goal is simple; safely return relics to a state that closely resembles their original condition. Nothing more, nothing less.

With the right toolset and a good deal of patience, we are successful more often than not. Visit our Blog page to learn more about our restoration techniques.

Restorative work is sometimes necessary on general circulation coins too. We work directly with estate liquidators and auction houses to ensure their clients can get top dollar for rare coins and other collectibles.

If you have a rarity in need of restoration or, are just looking for information about our methods, feel free to contact us via email.

Interested in giving our restoration method a try? We’ve put together a little kit to help you get started.
