Coinfanmorgan Valued Member 357 Posts	Posted 12/11/2012 9:56 pm Sometimes I wish that I could go back in time, find whoever it was that polished the coin and tell them not to do that. Unfortunately, almost all the coins I inherited are polished. Thanks for the grade guesses. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfanmorgan Valued Member 357 Posts	Posted 12/12/2012 08:51 am Can acetone remove the polish from this silver dollar? Or is it just best to leave it as is? Report this Post to the Staff
D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 12/12/2012 10:02 am I believe the only way you can restore a more natural looking surface would be to use it as a pocket piece but you will be left with a coin in a much lower grade. Unless you want to go that route, I would just leave it alone. Report this Post to the Staff
