Vaslin Pillar of the Community United States 914 Posts	Posted 01/30/2008 09:50 am Just a hole in my collection, not a hole in the album. Report this Post to the Staff
j_h_s Pillar of the Community United States 1934 Posts	Posted 01/30/2008 10:17 am I have an 1855 Lib Gold Dollar (MS 62) someone soldered a loop onto. Cry some more. RUINATION !! Report this Post to the Staff
Prethen Pillar of the Community United States 3234 Posts	Posted 01/30/2008 11:56 am j_h_s....I wonder if there's a technique for removing it while essentially doing no harm to the coin? Report this Post to the Staff
gussyboy1 Valued Member United States 174 Posts	Posted 01/30/2008 12:46 pm Prethen, I'm a nurse, maybe I could help. But who needs it most--you or the coin! Gussyboy1 Report this Post to the Staff
Vaslin Pillar of the Community United States 914 Posts	Posted 01/30/2008 1:01 pm I'm sure there is. Thanks to Wikipedia, solder melts at 361°F, gold melts at 1947°F. DISCLAIMER: I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'm TALKING ABOUT! So, I'd suggest putting it in the oven at 400°F and place some solder remover on top of the coin once it's hot.

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 02/03/2008 12:09 pm 14kt gold solder melts at between 1255 and 1440 degrees F depending on it's exact makeup. 18Kt between 1360 and 1530 degrees. Report this Post to the Staff

Vaslin Pillar of the Community United States 914 Posts	Posted 02/05/2008 11:02 am That is so unbelievable. I was only planning on bidding on it up to $60. There are some interesting people out there. Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 02/09/2008 05:34 am I think $228 is too high considering what a lower grade proof sells for, but I was interested up to around the $100 level. Report this Post to the Staff
