coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/10/2016 12:34 pm It might be paint, glue, nail polish, varnish, lacquer, or what else else I missed. An alteration on a coin does not improve the value. More like if you had a new car and you hit it on the fender with a sledge hammer and made a dent on it. Would that improve the value of your car? No, it is just damaged. Same on coins; If you alter the finish, then they are less desirable to a collector. But if it was struck that way from the mint, it might improve the value. But sometimes done to a coin, couldn't of happened at the mint. Knowing what caused the issue on a coin will help you to determine what happened to your coin. So damage/alteration/re-processing, re-plating only keeps their value to just face value. (if you can spend them if not take them to the bank to be sent back to the mint) Report this Post to the Staff
