[QUOTE="Clawcoins, post: 3657564, member: 77814"]Remember coins are abused on purpose and by accident for all sorts of reasons. For instance, what happens to coins if they are accidentally dropped in a parking lot with a lot of grime on it. Many ppl don't care to pick up dropped change. So change can get run over by cars which can grind and scratch up. And even bend the coin. But it's still worth face value. Then maybe soneone tried to use it in a vending machine but it didn't work so they used a file on it to try and get the machine to accept it? Who really knows right? Unless you tracked the coin its entire life. Think about it. Put your "coin collecting" mind to the side and look at the damage and think it through. Don't limit yourself in why, but look at the damage and try to figure out the hundred ways it can end up like that. Because remember, no matter how damaged it is, it's still worth a quarter.[/QUOTE]
