Originally, it would have looked something like this. And unfortunately for you, no, damaged coins like this become pretty much worthless to a collector. Unless they were super-rare coins to begin with - which this one is not. 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
