Let’s see the tooled, damaged, cleaned altered, etc. gold coins (they gotta be genuine though)

Look at the slabbed details graded NGC and PCGS coins on eBay with decent pics. There are tons of them.

I've seen most all of it, I just thought it would make a fun thread.

I do not buy details coins, especially gold.

I do not buy gold coins like that.... so I have none... However, I will accept all mistreated gold coins and give them a home if anyone wants to get rid of some. Cheers, RickO

Used to own this one. I do own one other problem, cleaned coin, a 1855-C gold dollar

I should explain that I bought those "problem" coins back in the 90's and grading/slabbing wasn't in my mind at the time. Two years ago I started a Registry Set so sent all my gold coins in si I could add to my set. These two came back with the "Genuine" labels.

Like others have said, I haven't, nor will I, knowingly buy problem coins. Unless I decide to make a special collection of problem coins. On second thought that would be only after I win The Publishers Clearinghouse Sweepstakes.
