No responsible numismatist would ever mark a coin, except maybe out of political protest or some other freedom-of-speech issue. Even for art's sake is OK -- hobo nickels, anyone?

This is why some half searchers get on my nerves. Today's unwanted half is still potentially valuable to history two or three hundred years from now at the most. If you must mark coins, mark up the damaged or dirty ones.

People that mark coins...

People that mark wrappers...

And kudos to those that try to "clean up the mess" made by less considerate searchers.

I just started roll searching and found a few rolls that had a coin in each that were covered with a blue chalk, is this a common way to mark rolls?
