What are the odds that ANACS/PCGS/NGC would "restore" it themselves? Even though it may not be something that they generally do, I could see an exception being made considering what it is. I'd at least give each of them a call, it certainly couldn't hurt. That way they can then grade it right then and there once they're done.
Congrats on the find!

Personally, I think the loop makes this coin UNIQUE, and would be inclined to NOT remove it.

PCGS and NGC both have locations in China. You might not need to take it to the US. I'd have it authenticated first and then see about repair.

@chirrs Hi! I have asked NGC Shanghai and PCGS, they both said I have to remove the loop before they grading this coin. But I let a silver store that looked better (compared with other stores near me ) remove the loop on another Seated half dollar ,and I can't say they did a good job, you can see the picture. So I can only keep it so far.  |

I can only keep the original state as far as possible.

@kbbpll Hi! I've asked the PCGS and ngc in China, they told me I have to remove the loop before they grading it. And Catbert recommended me a company which can remove the loop, I think I need to hire such a company. Unfortunately, I haven't found a qualified company yet.   |

Diagnostic appear to match the genuine both obv and rev. And I agree crsstockton is wo I would talk to about having the loop removed.

I wonder if it was used a button or cuff link
However, this is a very nice find.
I think that removing it may incur more damage to it than leaving it as is.

@Rearborn Maybe it is a cuff link#65292;old Chinese customs need this #65292;and many Chinese people went to sanfrancisco to look for gold#65292;they took many Seated coins back to here.Most of them lived in coastal cities of China.So most of Seated coins were found there. |

i dont have much to add but I'm interested to see how this turns out. fun read and cool coin.
if I were looking to buy this coin for my collection I would prefer to have the loop left on. its part of that coins history. I'm probably in the minority there and I'm not a buyer on this one so my opinion is irrelevant. I may be wrong but think most people would prefer to have the loop removed as long as the work were handled well.

Rearborn "Rearborn", huh? Now that I hope is a typo..   Nope I would also leave that loop on as well, it was probably 'soldered' on with a silver solder Edited by Dearborn

I would imagine that anyone trying to professionally remove that would do so close to where it connects to the surface of the coin, but not quite. Then with the majority of it out of the way, start removing more and more a very small amount at a time until it finally gets to the surface and remove whatever is left. At that point, you can either leave it as is with the obvious signs of a previous mount or as some of the restoration photos show, repair it to look like it should.
