<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2613462, member: 19463&quot;]The question here is not so much whether we will own a modified coin but whether we will pay extra for them to encourage the owners of a $100 coin to spent $20 on repairs because the fixed coin will sell for $200.&nbsp; If fixed coins sold for $120 or less, this sort of thing would stop.&nbsp; If you want to pay someone to fix your coins for your enjoyment, that is one thing, but if you see no reason to mention it when selling or if you expect me to pay for what you spent on the repair, there we have a problem.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a coin that was sold in a sale for which I have the catalog but was cleaned further (and not too skillfully) buy the guy who bought it from that sale.&nbsp; I paid a lot less for it than he did.&nbsp; Pay your money and do as you must. Filling holes seems minor compared to mounting in jewelry or melting them down for bullion.&nbsp; There are still places in the world where the safest thing to do with a hoard of coins is to melt them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
