My-2018-5-Oz-50-Cent-Lion-Has-Vitiligo

I imagine this must be quite rare.

The 5oz coins usually have very good quality control.

Do you think it will add or lose any additional value?
On one hand, I want to keep it because I have vitiligo too.
On the other, I want to sell it and get another because I want a perfect coin.

@wil, I don't know anything about Canadian commemoratives, but just wanted to say that if you like this piece, then you should keep it. With the fun connection to you, it seems like a fine item to have in your collection, but it is 100% your call.

Why not have both?

I know, it is probably outside your budget. I can empathize.

Kidding aside, it is a tough call. My personal feeling is that I like things that are unique, so if this is uncommon, it would be a keeper.

I would say, the coin most likely looses it's resell value being imperfect.
But,
I would keep it the way it is. First to prevent hassle of selling and with possibility getting coin with another imperfection, and second - this isn't critical and small one, having discoloration on the side.

You must have missed the Oprah Winfrey interview of Michael Jackson 30 years ago. That was when it came to my attention. I later had a coworker with the condition.

Missed that for sure. So Michael Jackson claimed he had that condition?
