If it’s a common date, there’s likely no meaningful discount in value, as it’s a bullion coin.

I’ve only ever seen putty once in my life, in my hand. I don’t still understand how it passes examination.
Pics?

Does degraded putty look like a scab? Or what?

No, it’s more of a haze. Here’s an example of a puttied coin that turned out terribly - a most extreme case:

The putty must change color over time. A grading service would detail that coin right?
Perhaps, perhaps not. It depends, sometimes.

Freshly applied putty is virtually invisible which is why they can get slabbed. After several months, the putty will turn into a white chalky or cloudy coating that sometimes has a bluish tinge.

Best case scenario you might get near melt. Worst case - the estate buyer will just put zero on their internal offer Calc form. Hey shop it around the bourse and see what they offer. That stuff I just pass.
