If it's paint it can usually be removed with acetone without damage to the coin. If it's some type of enamel it may not be possible to remove in a satisfactory manner. I would pass on that coin but I can see others who like to gamble buying that coin to try to conserve it assuming of course that they could get it cheap enough.
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

I am reminded of a comment a previous boss said to me once. We made duplicates of videos and I questioned why some customers' orders were done on new blank cassettes and others were made on cassettes that were QA rejects from previous orders. The boss said, "There's a market for every dupe." He meant that some people are happy with cheap and low quality because they mostly loved cheap.
If this coin wasn't a BIN it would be interesting to see at what price someone would win it.
That said, I don't recall ever seeing this type of treatment on a coin. I wonder what inspired the paint job.
New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.
