7TF Pillar of the Community 743 Posts	Posted 06/27/2014 5:05 pm We need more photos. I can't see exactly how the 1 and 8 are doubled but I do see what looks like doubling on the outside of the 1 at the top. The chip inside the 8 I have never seen anything like that before. Can you get better pictures with whiter lighting? Is there anything else going on with the coin that might help attribute it? Report this Post to the Staff
blackandgold Valued Member United States 107 Posts	Posted 06/28/2014 1:23 pm Sorry for the poor pics, hopefully these are better. I only have a 10x loupe and my cell phone to use. Report this Post to the Staff

blackandgold Valued Member United States 107 Posts	Posted 06/28/2014 2:35 pm I suppose its a possibility but do I really want to poke at it with something? And if I do, what do you suggest I use? Report this Post to the Staff

Might as well leave it be. There's enough remaining on the surface of the coin from the plastic in which it was encased to make it a Details coin; why mess with it? If you must, a toothpick won't harm the silver. Then again, it probably won't touch anything you had to hammer off the coin, either. I'm happy with VAM-20 for it. Report this Post to the Staff

blackandgold Valued Member United States 107 Posts	Posted 06/28/2014 11:27 pm Haha the hammer part was fun! I hammered one of the Peace dollars first to make sure it would work. VAM 20 looks about right. Thanks guys. Report this Post to the Staff
