<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 1886271, member: 42773&quot;]We&#039;ve had this discussion before, and it always comes down to personal preference.

It was probably an attractive, honest coin in F before the monkey business. Now it&#039;s worthless, at least to me. I wouldn&#039;t pay a dollar for it, and if someone gave it to me, I would pull it out whenever an example was needed to demonstrate how a coin is ruined.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
