Almost without exception, "12-Volt" coils DON'T have an internal resistor.

They are simply wound with more wire in the primary, to function on 12-Volts.

It is not the VOLTAGE rating of the coil (or points) that causes them to burn or fail, it it the excessive primary circuit CURRENT that results when there is not enough resistance in the overall primary circuit to limit closed-point current to 3 to 4 Amps. Current beyond that range will overheat and "kill" the coil, and BURN the breaker points.
