<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LindeDad, post: 1268325, member: 31518&quot;]There is a long list of what are considered problem coins.</p><p>Filed rims-- done to hide rim dings and also to remove the metal making them under weight.</p><p>Peeling Lamination--the metal just peels away flaw in the manufacture of the coin.</p><p>Hole or plugged coin-- yes some coins have holes in them and yes sometimes people try to fix those holes. Holed coins also have collectors as a branch of the hobby.</p><p>Counterfeits-- these are thought of as contemporary done at the time of minting or shortly after and modern day as in being done now mostly in China.</p><p>Cleaning-- from dipping that is normally considered market acceptable to the kid with a pencil eraser making that penny bright it runs the gauntlet from OK the Yuk.</p><p>Questionable color-- This normally brings up the debate of artificial toning vs. natural toning all I will say is please don&#039;t pay a lot of money for colorful coins as in many cases your never going to get it back.</p><p>Scratched--not accepted as they are normally associated with graffiti on the coin that is considered damage.</p><p>Edit to add the Environmental damage as shown in the image above-- normally the result of storage problems.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
