Best Answer

Yes.

Many collectible items will lose value if they're altered. Coins with holes in them, letters punched on the surface, plated, etc. are normally worth much less than if they were untouched.

The same rule applies to trying to make a bill or coin look nicer - attempts to "repair" or "clean up" usually do more to damage the item than to improve it.

If an item is extremely valuable professional conservators have the knowledge and tools to do the job without damage. But anything we mere mortals have at home will hurt rather than help.
