I read about this in Canadian Coin News a while back. A crummy, greedy thing to do to collectors. They should've been melted.
From hence ye beauties undeceived, know one false step is ne'er retrieved
and be with caution bold.
Not all that tempts your wandering eyes and heedless hearts is lawful prize,
nor all that glistens gold.
- Thomas Gray, 1747
