Default coils : turns shorted = quality ?

HI,

Often I can see coils where some turns are shorted in order to modify there
value.
I wonder whether these shorted turns would not be seen as a short cicuit and
could decrease the quality of that coil.
How can I have an idea of the lost of quality without complex equipment ?
I plan to build this kind of coil for a shortened antenna...

regards
