coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/29/2008 8:21 pm Taking it to a jeweler to fill the hole would probably be more than the coin is worth as a cull. Report this Post to the Staff
Vaslin Pillar of the Community United States 914 Posts	Posted 01/30/2008 08:44 am As sad as it is, it would still fill a hole in my 3CN collection. I'm bidding on it! Report this Post to the Staff

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

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

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.
