<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 77410, member: 4373&quot;]Hello Satootoko and the rest <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>The most common one that Roy and I would know is the instance of Japanese 1 yen coins that circulated in China. You must understand, by taking such coins and putting ugly chopmarks on them, this means that these are taken as bullion values and had zero apperication value on the art level. </p><p><br /></p><p>The question is, how should they be valued? Maybe you can &quot;calculate&quot; the amount of &#039;damage&#039; percentage wise and put it up against the real value of the coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>Of course they might be countermarks that might be valuable. But if you know some of the ridicious coins in the world, such as the Australian holey dump, these coins in some crude defination a hole made in the Spanish coins *ouch!!!* and with that removed circular coin, some &quot;countermarks&quot; are made. </p><p><br /></p><p>Why are those valuable? Because it&#039;s official? </p><p><br /></p><p>I am not too keen in crediting chopmarks are totally worthless though. Perhaps with some detailed studies of who chopmarked them, it might be worth a bit more... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
