<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 1815304, member: 5233&quot;]They should be avoided...for the reasons you stated above.&nbsp; Another problem is not only are they very hard to sell...their value can be very unstable.&nbsp; For example, lets say a problem free coin is worth $100.&nbsp; That same coin cleaned might be worth $50 to one person and $15 to the next, it might be worthless to me.&nbsp; They are very hard to price because there is no set scale to compare them to and the damage affects each person&#039;s opinion of the coin in different ways.&nbsp; So, not only are they hard to price, they are hard to sell...the actual value of a damaged coin can never be low enough.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a bunch of problem coins I am trying to unload right now.&nbsp; It&#039;s a huge pain, I would say avoid it at all costs.</p><p><br /></p><p>The ONLY time I would say it&#039;s acceptable to buy a problem coin is if there simply aren&#039;t any examples available.&nbsp; I don&#039;t have a coin like this, but one of my paper notes is like this. I own a 1902 $10 PB National Bank Note issued from one of the Oregon banks...only 6 are known to exist.&nbsp; So, when I found one for sale...even though it has tape and tears, I jumped on it.&nbsp; Pieces like this IMHO are acceptable in problem conditions because other examples simply don&#039;t exist.&nbsp; I may never see another example of that note again.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
