How To Remove 3 Silver Soldered Coins From A Sterling Silver Spoon - Help !

Ok, but actually not a bad idea. If the reverses are scrap, even if the dates are legible they won't sell or sell for much. At than point a spoon might be a good idea for the 25 cents piece... even the 5 cent could be made into a spoon but not for something you or I would make use of...lol

It's probably too late at this point, but I'm joining the camp of "don't do anything, this is a nice numismatic spoon, and if you try to break it down, this side of winning-the-lottery sort of luck, your best chance is still junk silver anyway".

It's your spoon so do what you like with it Mate.
If you are careful when you take the coins off to check the dates you can always solder them back onto the spoon with NO harm done anyway

@Pacificcoin - loll

As long as you keep the heat(very fine tip propane)to the melting point of the solder only and be sure to keep the coins totally flat to stop solder run, the impact area should remain the same and yes you will get coins with exposed dates. My bet is a good outcome with patience being key. Perhaps one person to apply the heat and one to do the solder sucking.............

They can be removed but the reverses will have solder on them.

The method I would use is to lay the spoon on a block of charcoal or aspestos with the coins underneath and a pair of tweezers in the left hand... using a blow torch I would heat the spoon up until its pretty hot, the coins should drop off by gravity as the solder runs but if the spoon starts to glow red (which it would do before melting) I would use the open tweezers to apply pressure to the coin on each side of the spoon to give it a helping had at falling off.

The spoon will end up a bit sooty, but the soldered side will require a file and buff with paper before being polished. The coins will be discoloured, and solder stuck to one side so I am not sure what use they will be.

Silver solder comes in various grades... hard, medium and easy (these refer to the heat they run with hard running just before melting point, medium runs before hard, and easy before medium) the reason being is so that you can solder multiple things close together without melting your previous joins. Extra easy runs much much before melting but wont pass an assay test... it is not unusual for old stuff like this to use lead solder or easy... but even if they use hard you can do it without melting the spoon if you have some skill at judging the heat of the metal. You want to keep the flame moving up and down the spoon to get some heat into it and if you see the metal start to "sweat" or go bright red take the heat off.

Oh man, TaeKenDo you do have a pree-dik-a-mant there.Especially since the coins seem to
be in really nice shape but... Trout and Pacificoin.
Suggestion , you have the spoons hallmarks,initials,a city where no doubt it
originates and a somewhat narrow time period.
Research it first. You probably find your answers that way(take longer maybe)
but you,ll have fun doing it and learn more than expected I'm sure.IMO.
Just a idea
