<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coleguy, post: 1154612, member: 9167&quot;]Not all painted coins are considered ruined. I used to have a few coins pained during the Victorian era using crystaline or glass bead enamels that were quite intricately done. They are quite rare and increase the value of an ordinary coin. Modern enameled coins (those done withing the past 100 years or so) are not worth premiums as far as I&#039;ve seen. My point being, classifying ALL altered surface coins into the group of ruined devalues a collector&#039;s knowledge, not the coin&#039;s value.</p><p>Guy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
