thusdayclub Valued Member Poland 263 Posts	Posted 04/22/2013 1:45 pm Hello. In your opinion it is a 1942 DDR variety? I know this is poor pictures (only these photos I have), but I think double die is visible. Could you tell me how much is worth this coin in this grade? Surface is covered by PVC, and on the reverse I can see scratches (cleaning?). It is worth more than a silver junk? Soaking in acetone will help here? Thanks for your opinions. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Go to the Main Coin Forum, and search for that word (acetone). You'll find plenty of discussion, from which you can easily learn the appropriate method of using acetone for the removal of PVC byproduct contamination. Employ the suggested safety considerations and have at it. Report this Post to the Staff
thusdayclub Valued Member Poland 263 Posts	Posted 04/22/2013 2:17 pm Thanks, if I will buy it, definitely I will be soak this WLHD in acetone. But now, the most important question for me is how much is worth this coin? I know it isn't easy question, but I believe that you can help me. I don't want to overpaid. Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 04/22/2013 3:03 pm In all honesty, with this coin's problems I don't believe I'd offer as much as $25 for it, even though I believe it to be Uncirculated. Report this Post to the Staff

Buy pure Acetone and follow the safety, (especially about ventilation.) instructions as SsuperDdave suggested. Fair Market Value 1942 WLH AU 50 $17.00 Fair Market Value 1942 WLH AU 53 $22.00 As of 4/22/2013 Not sure of the DDR value. Edited by bpoc1 04/22/2013 4:59 pm Report this Post to the Staff
