<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 4497194, member: 74282&quot;]People use various fillers and paints on coins. Kinda like using Bondo to repair an old car. They&#039;ll fill holes, smooth the surface and rebuild details like lost lettering or hair with something like epoxy or some sort of resin, then paint or repatinate over it, or sometimes mix the paint into the filler material. You should always be on the lookout for such things when collecting bronzes. There are plenty of good coins out there, but lots of doctored ones too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
