Got a link to these defaced coins? 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?

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!

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!
