You cannot improve this by adding a series resistor.
When you get the coil, if it is physically possible to disconnect one end of the resistor from the coil without mechanically destroying it, you could do that and add a shunt resistor of the specified value.
Edit: I think I misread. If you mean adding 10k in series with the 12k (not in series with the whole assembly), that would work too.
Similarly, if a peaking coil calls for a shunt resistor but the replacement has none, you can just add a resistor in parallel.

the coil is lit wrapped around the resistor , i this case, and painted over with colored epoxy.

this is not an exact pic, but it gets the idea across
