<p>[QUOTE="Cloudsweeper99, post: 298266, member: 3011"]It depends on the type of damage and degree of damage. If the damage is a neat hole or a slight bend in an otherwise numismatically valuable coin, it can still be worth between 1/3 and 2/3 of what the coin would sell for in the same condition, but undamaged. Silver coins with no dates or mintmarks are probably worth melt value or a slight discount to melt at a coin dealer.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is my opinion only and what I've seen similar coins sell for. I don't think there is any rule to follow. Some collectors won't even look at a damaged coin regardless of price. Others don't mind if it enables them to acquire a date/mintmark that would otherwise be out of their price range.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
