Many coins were turned into "Love Tokens" in the 19th century and were deliberately defaced with initials etc. Is that what you are referring to? "Luek" wrote in message . .. Hello all, I have noticed that many of the coins on Ebay have what looks like deliberately made scratches on either to obverse , reverse or both. Is this just me or is there something going on to make unmarked coins more valuable? Thks! Luek Here are .JPG's of two examples. Could you please *not* post pictures to a text-only NG? This is about the fourth post containing pictures of your coins, and they do take up a lot of space. Ideally, you can easily place the pictures on a free picture hosting service and send the link here. Alternatively, you can post the pictures to alt.binaries.pictures.numismatic and post the link here. Not a good alternative, cos not everyone has access to that NG; but it's better than opening message after message here with pictures in! Padraic ** Posted from http://www.teranews.com ** |
