coinworldtv Pillar of the Community Austria 566 Posts	Posted 01/12/2017 3:33 pm The collecting of such material is somehow pointless as these coins are usually being dumped and sold to wholesale metal dealers worldwide below the metal price (of copper/copper-nickel/aluminum or whatever they are made of). If a rare coin was waffled by mistake then you might get a fraction it´s original value, anything else is thrown out money and loss of precious collector time (this is how stamp collecting has got boring for the masses - you pay $1 and get the below 1 cent if you want to sell the item one day, if anyoen is interested in the buying at all). In my opinion there is no point in the collecting of damaged coins, which were already cheap before they were damaged. Edited by coinworldtv 01/12/2017 4:05 pm Report this Post to the Staff
jdmern Pillar of the Community United States 1949 Posts	Posted 01/12/2017 3:43 pm I've tossed many of these pieces into my cull bag over the last few years, but nearly all were German... The Malaysian piece is pretty neat... Bill, what is the oldest waffled piece you have come across?
