<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 866437, member: 19065&quot;]You&#039;re getting off topic with your own inquiry and you haven&#039;t answered the OP. However, did you clean the ASE before and or after the hammer assault? LOL.</p><p><br /></p><p>The answer is clear, yes, it is worth spot if the weight and metal composition is correct. YET you will need to find a dealer who will (after likely testing the metal composition and weight) buy it, but they may not buy it for spot, especially if the purity cannot be determined without proper assay, since you removed the clear markings but left enough to tell it may have once been an authentic ASE. Whether you find the buyer/dealer to accept it is the first problem, what they will pay for it another. A dealer who buys it, a one off that you beat to crap, likely tosses it in a junk surplus pile waiting to go off to melt with little money lost if its not authentic as you say it is. BUT it is no longer a govt issued ASE that might have, should and usually does carry a premium<i> over </i>spot when in proper/reasonable as issued <i>coin</i> form, with its hallmarks from the issuing government entity in readable condition and such that one can determine it is not a fake of some kind due to your alterations. How much tolerance for damage is acceptable may be up to the person/dealer you have a transaction with. If this were paper currency, banks typically replace damaged and mangled FRNs with greater than 50% of the bill intack. A note requires at least 1 full SN and 1/2 the other SN to be used as legal tender.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
