Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 12/10/2008 9:13 pm In all honesty, it pretty much kills the grade. Unless a coin is quite rare, modifications like this greatly affect its value and appeal to collectors. Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16876 Posts	Posted 12/11/2008 01:56 am An attached loop (or a "mount mark" where an attached loop used to be) is normally as bad as a hole drilled through the coin itself, as far as coin collectors are concerned. In this case, for a coin in this condition, it knocks the grade right down to basal state. I don't think even the popularity of Greek coins can bring the value up above bullion. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 12/17/2008 4:10 pm 1gtsfan- There really is nothing that you can do that will fix the situation. Once a coin has been modified, the signs will always be present no matter how well it is repaired. Report this Post to the Staff

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 12/25/2008 12:18 am I agree with the others. Anything permanently done to a coin after it leaves the mint is considered damage, and usually competely kills the numismatic value of the piece. Report this Post to the Staff
