<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CoinDragon, post: 53816, member: 3243&quot;]I will admit having a love/hate relationship with after-mint alterations on coins.&nbsp; I have a side collection of coins that have been purposefully altered by someone after having left the mint, such as elongated cents, lincoln cents with JFK&#039;s head stamped in it, hobo nickels, love tokens, those painted red quarters you find now and then, and gold plated coins.&nbsp; I only buy them second hand or find them in rolls of coins though, I would never encourage QVC by purchasing their overpriced garbage.&nbsp; I don&#039;t have any of their gold plated state quarters YET, but I do hope to find one cheap at a yard sale, a coin dealers junk bin, or better still, in a roll of quarters from the bank.&nbsp; I say if you learned from the purchase back when you were a newbie it was worth the $29.00.&nbsp; If I had the set I would break them open, stick one in my altered collection, and use the rest as conversation pieces.&nbsp; Have fun![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
