<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Santa, post: 2734762, member: 87443&quot;]There will always be people who counterfeit coins, or alter coins when they can for profit.&nbsp; Pretty much thru all the series including adding mintmarks, but that&#039;s a different discussion from accepting that a restored nickel is actually a genuine example of the mintage.&nbsp; Value is not the point.&nbsp; It&#039;s just that some purists operate as if the restored nickel shouldn&#039;t count for more than face value as far as origin.&nbsp; And always fun to spend the nickels, including poor condition V and shield nickels.&nbsp; Spend&#039;em all the time especially at drive thrus and vending machines.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
