<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 478816, member: 5233&quot;]I do agree with you, I wouldn&#039;t have it repaired and I don&#039;t think it should be.&nbsp; But, my reasoning for that isn&#039;t because someone down the road might rip someone off with it.&nbsp; It&#039;s like you say, it won&#039;t look better to me.&nbsp; It will stick out like a sore thumb and in my eyes look worse. </p><p><br /></p><p>I think why I have been arguing this is because a lot of people don&#039;t want to alter the coin because they fear of what might happen with it.&nbsp; I wouldn&#039;t want to alter it because I think it would look bad...and to me, that&#039;s what&#039;s important.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, I will admit though, there are some coins that I think repairs are a little more OK on.&nbsp; I may get ripped apart for this, but here goes.&nbsp; I have seen a number of old (early 1800s or so) large silver coins that had a hole in them for one reason or another and they were plugged.&nbsp; This doesn&#039;t bother me quite as much.&nbsp; I still wouldn&#039;t want one in my collection, but some of those coins are so expensive that it might be the only way I could have one.&nbsp; I&#039;d rather have a plugged example than one with a hole in it.&nbsp; But, that&#039;s just me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
