<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JeromeLS, post: 1537973, member: 7867&quot;]I dislike the term &quot;problem coin&quot;, because it suggests that because a coin has been mounted or defaced or whatever it isn&#039;t a legitimate example of the issue in some sense, and has less value as a historical artifact. I am happy to collect coins with serious &quot;problems&quot; because it allows me to buy extremely rare issues which otherwise I would not be able to afford. </p><p><br /></p><p>Sure, my coins will, over decades, be slightly worn by the flips, but your coins will still suffer minor damage no matter how well you keep them. Life&#039;s too short to worry about superficial damage to coins which have already been heavily &quot;damaged&quot; by circulation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
