For sake of my own education...how do they tell its plated?

RR-29? That is an important, scarce coin. To be appreciated whatever its condition.
The advice to send it to PCGS is sound - However, does PCGS still accept colonials? I read somewhere that they no longer do so.

On second thought. PCGS will grade them but I'm not sure they do attributions, I don't recall ever seeing one. Which leaves ANACS.

I do wonder if there is some way to remove the plating. There is but it is also damaging to the coin as well. You just reverse electroplate it with the coin as the anode. Strip the plating metal off of it, but also at least some of the copper as well. Quote:

Of course if they attribute it you still can't trust the attribution. And with NGC if they had attributed it you not only couldn't trust it, if they got it wrong, too bad you're out of luck because they don't guarantee their attributions Edited by Conder101

Very cool coin!  I would send it to ANACS if it were mine. |

Do you think you would try to remove the plating? I would not. As stated it will probably leave the coin worse off. |

I have had this coin soaking in acetone, since I got it back from NGC. I think I see some improvement. Got me wondering if I should soak it some more in acetone. I have to watch myself, and try something more harsh. Also I was reading ANACS site, they say they will slab problem coins. Hate to bring this back up, but I am curious if others can see a improvement.   |

problem coins. They certainly do! Most of the coins I send them seem to come back slabbed but with with no grade other than "scratched', "bent", etc. Of course, I didn't realize the coins were problem coins before sending them in... |
