That is fine, as long as you understand that the value of the coins will probably never be much more than you paid for them, as many other collectors don't want to have corroded, recolored, holed, cleaned, etc. coins. And if they do, they are getting them primarily as filler coins, until they can afford to find a coin that they want that suits them and their pocketbook. </p><p><br /></p><p>But to highlight this as someone being asleep, where you got the coin for a great price because a non-corroded, or otherwised damaged coin at even G-4 would be twice the amount you paid, is comparing apples to oranges, and it is not a valid way of saying something. Somebody being asleep would be based on the coin being full value, where you could easily sell it for the amount you are comparing it to.
