No we don't, thats why bullion coins are sold in either capsules - for a single coin, tubes - from 5 to 25 coins, and ''slabs'' - coins that have been graded. And then there is the whole coin grading thing, the Sheldon Scale being the most popular one in use today around the world, and how - deopending on coin mingtage and rarity/desirability, a coin graded as ''MS70'' can be worth ten times as much if not more than the same coin with a grading of ''MS69''. And it is possible to get coins from the end of the 19th century and begining of the 20th century that have never left their packaging since they left the mint - I've not long completed a collecting a set of 1914 full gold Sovereigns that have never left the card squares that they left the various different mints in. Even Krugerrands, it's actually very easy to buy a 1967 Krugerrand that has never been taken out of it's capsule, or tube, and with Krugerrands - introduced in 1967, the premium on a first year mint, is very little compared to a 2022 minted Krugerrand, they're not even close to being worth an extra 50% more than the latest batch to leave the mint. These sorts of coins are made from precious and semi precious metals, unlike guitars, scratchers and wear are very very unwanted traits, that's lost weight, it's not much weight, but enough scratches and wear will reduce the value of any coin to it's melt value.
One of my favourites 'the guitar is in mint condition apart from a slight scratch on the headstock, etc'.
Right, so actually it’s not in ‘excellent condition’ at all!
