Insideout, do you feel better that an "expert"has "helped" you.I know this is a wonderful site for us as a family to give and receive "help' from one another, some of us have a unique way of helping, if you could post a picture, I am sure others like myself(not an expert), just a coin collector, would be glad to assist you with the concerns in which your post addressed, "a picture is worth a thousand words", BE WELL, MIKE

OK I think I can answer your question, so here it goes; Your coin as you describe it was dipped in a bucket of Havana Brown used exclusively on the 1982 Porsche. I am surprised that someone has had that color in their possession for this long and painted the coin that you own. Is it a collectible item? I suppose if your a Porsche fan it is. Thanks for reading this post now lets get back to collecting those doubled dies.

Insideout - My statement wasn't directed at you. Ask for expert advice all you want, that's what you came here for. If I happen to have it, I'll give freely without hesitation. What I don't appreciate is when I call a junk coin a junk coin and someone else doesn't like my method and starts some insinuating crash course on how I'm supposed to answer questions in some manner as to not show that obvious is obvious.

You asked a question that baffled me, frankly. You asked about a coin you said was coated or stained and wanted someone to look at it. I asked a serious question in reply...why bother? If it's junk, it's junk. There are SO MANY valuable coins out there waiting for someone to find them. SO MANY rarities out there that people spend every day. Why dwell on bent, damaged, stained, plated, ran-over coins? Learn the real errors and look for them. Learn the real die varieties and look for them.
