It is a question of the price for the piece and how common or rare the piece is.
I would not buy an late Red Star or Red Banner of Labour with replaced enamel for my collection.

Some collectors avoid this repaired awards. But sometimes you have not the money or change to find an 100% perfect piece. How many Red Banner screwback awards you can get without enamel damage.
