Good question Sherri. I wouldn't call it a G4 nor would I call it worthless. I have an arrangement with my boss (I work in a coin shop). I take them home and "play with them", if it lists over $10 in G4 he wants to know.
Last week I found a 15-S and it turned out real nice. I had actually sold a "non doctored" 15-S that day at work for $40 and mine looked better.
I knew I had a potential buyer so I asked the boss what he wanted for it. He said $10. I sold the coin for $12 and gave my boss $10. Key was I was up front about it. Heck, I showed the guy how I did it. I've been experimenting with my technique and getting better.
So yes, the coins do have value. It's a way to fill holes a lot cheaper. When I can sell a $40 coin for $12 and both parties are satisfied it's worth it. Just be up front about it as many collectors would NOT know it's acid dated.
