<p>[QUOTE=&quot;doppeltaler, post: 2274223, member: 73593&quot;]So this is something being bothering me for quite some time. After the recent stacks bowers world coin auction i have to ask fellow coiners what would you do in case of a so-called problem coins. Would you add a so called problem coin to your collection and what would you consider worse of all types of problem coins ?</p><p><br /></p><p>For me these coins are still coins with character and a story to tell. I do know the value of a coin get considerably lower when it is considered problematic. So i still consider adding them to my collection as long as there is an eye appeal and the coin in question is rare and you cant get it in non problematic condition for what you can afford.</p><p><br /></p><p>To me here is the types of issues i consider as problematic in order,</p><p><br /></p><p>1) environmental damage - ex corrosion / being buried/ water damage</p><p>2) mounting</p><p>3) rim filing</p><p>4) graffiti</p><p>5) scratch</p><p>6) cleaning - hair lines</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the two coins that made me ask this here,</p><p><br /></p><p>First one is ex mount and the second one is lightly cleaned/hair lines.</p><p><br /></p><p>What do you think ?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]453416[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]453417[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
