<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RedTiger, post: 644764, member: 19098&quot;]I own my share of problem coins. Some with the problem noted on the holder, some in no-problem slabs. None of them are &quot;worthless.&quot; Typically, they are easy to buy and hard to sell. The spread is often quite wide, meaning many dealers will ask a strong price, but offer quite low on problem coins. Still, virtually every coin can find a happy home at the right price. Whether a person wants such coins in his/her collection is a personal decision.</p><p><br /></p><p>In some series, some grades, a good percentage of the coins up for sale will have problems or at least be questionable. Some alterations are easy to see. A good many lightly dipped coins have retoned and are decent enough looking to suspend disbelief. The &quot;faux original&quot; coins often get bid up strong, even though they too, have likely been messed with. Yes, dipping is in a different ballpark from whizzing. As are some other alterations such as tooling, putty, lasering.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
