Imthealphaomega Pillar of the Community United States 3210 Posts	Posted 07/20/2016 1:41 pm Got these for $450 total. First the 28 may be a candidate for conservation due to harsh residue on both sides I figure it's a mid au coin. The gold piece looks xf not sure if cleaned or not and may have been Jewelry at one time but I know pre civil war gold sells nicely for a premium. What do you all think.

Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5686 Posts	Posted 07/20/2016 3:22 pm A dip in acetone might be reasonable for the Peace dollar. Agree that it looks around AU-55 underneath. I'd say XF-45 on the gold. Report this Post to the Staff
Imthealphaomega Pillar of the Community United States 3210 Posts	Posted 07/20/2016 4:56 pm Did acetone on the 28 it was worse before....now it isn't getting other stuff off. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 07/20/2016 5:12 pm Unsure what you are saying - did the acetone help or not? If so, can you show us another pic? Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 07/20/2016 5:32 pm Got it, thanks. You seem to have done OK on the price here. I would consider paying to have it conserved and graded by NGC. Report this Post to the Staff
BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 07/20/2016 6:58 pm Did you let it soak in acetone overnight? The gold piece looks VF+ to possibly XF40. Price sounds fair enough. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
Imthealphaomega Pillar of the Community United States 3210 Posts	Posted 07/20/2016 7:09 pm I think NGC conservation is the best option, normally my method of acetone with a q tip to wipe off residue without damaging the surfaces usually works but this wasn't cutting it. I would send it to PCGS conservation but they are severely backed up so NGC is my first choice, they did an incredible job with another 28 peace last year and it graded au55 and looked totally different Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 07/20/2016 7:11 pm Good choice - this coin has tons of potential. Report this Post to the Staff
Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5686 Posts	Posted 07/20/2016 7:24 pm Might be worth trying to soak it in acetone overnight. It can't hurt, and it might take a while for that residue to dissolve. Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36903 Posts	Posted 07/20/2016 8:55 pm Acetone will not change the toning, only a dip in E-Z-Est will do that. I'd say AU-55 on the $ and EF-40 on the $2 1/2. Report this Post to the Staff
