<p>[QUOTE=&quot;s_mack, post: 914576, member: 25917&quot;]Good info Chris, thank you.&nbsp; I&#039;m no expert in coins, but looking at the damage I&#039;m comfortable that it was accidental.&nbsp; It is nowhere near the seam, nor is it anywhere near the coin.&nbsp; Not impossible though, I suppose.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>Fair enough!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Thanks Chip!&nbsp; It was left to us from a relative that passed on.&nbsp; However, they didn&#039;t hold sentimental value for her - they were simply an investment.&nbsp; Coins haven&#039;t been anything I&#039;ve had interest in... though I must admit this is all very interesting as I&#039;m learning!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I have perhaps a dumb question.&nbsp; Say the value of a coin is $2000 and the gold value of it (by weight) is $1000 right now.&nbsp; Now say in 5 years the gold value is $500 (half), would it be logical to say the total value is $1000 (again half) or would it be more logical to say its $1500 ($1000 &quot;collector&quot; value and $500 gold value)??</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;- Steven[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
