<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Santa, post: 2734800, member: 87443&quot;]I understand.&nbsp; I applaud your personal choices as well as others who have different values and views.&nbsp; There are many base level coin &quot;collectors&quot; I have met in my 60+ years that swear condition means nothing to THEM...only the visible or restored date.&nbsp; (and as to altered dates, if you pay more than $2-$10 (high side) for a rarer date restored nickle, and it turns out to be an altered date....so what...you&#039;ll learn a lesson you should know moving forward into more valuable investments.&nbsp; Just figure you just bought yourself a happy hour drink for you and your buddy.&nbsp; LOL&nbsp; No big deal on a coin you look to replace at a later date anyway.&nbsp; And &quot;altered&quot; restored nickels are not in any kind of &quot;abundance&quot; anyone is aware of.&nbsp; If there are stories and reports of them, I would be very interested in reading up.&nbsp; (I have a collection and interest in counterfeit and altered coins made by the confederates during the Civil War) I think some people just are not &quot;comfortable&quot; with &quot;open holes&quot; in their coin books.&nbsp; Restored nickels can be looked at as a sort of &quot;therapy&quot; for those individuals.&nbsp; And again, a coin (restored or not) is worth nothing more than face value, unless there is another person out there that will pay more.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
