Nelrak Pillar of the Community United States 974 Posts	Posted 09/22/2009 11:39 am I've been looking for a decent business strike 3 cent silver for sometime now. Well I guess it's been since Prethen pointed out mine was a 19th century fake! I bought this one recently, it has a lot of character and the clashing is more dramatic than most you. Thought I'd share the seller's photos, mine are coming soon: That's a scratch on the holder by the 1 in 1861 before you ask I plan on polishing it good over the weekend and get rid of all the scratches. I took these real quick of the same coin. Edited by Nelrak 09/22/2009 3:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Nelrak Pillar of the Community United States 974 Posts	Posted 09/22/2009 1:59 pm Thanks, SD! Quote: What are you using to remove the scratchees? I have some small sponges and use headlight cleaner/scratch remover for plastic, believe the brand is Meguiar's. It does a great job for shallow scratches. It gets a light haze and you just buff it with a soft cloth. My buddy uses toothpaste on his. Report this Post to the Staff
