Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6385 Posts	Posted 02/12/2017 8:48 pm I don't think you can remove the solder by heating; it will probably just melt and spread farther across the surface of the coin. I'd just sell this piece as an "ex-jewelry" problem coin and apply the money for something you would rather have. It would likely sell for around $175 on ebay. Report this Post to the Staff

BStrauss3 Pillar of the Community United States 4592 Posts	Posted 02/12/2017 11:46 pm There is nothing you can do to go back to anything with numismatic value. It will always be a damaged, ex jewelry coin. The plating just adds injury on top of injury. Your leg is broken in two places.

Fathead 5 Valued Member United States 294 Posts	Posted 02/13/2017 01:41 am This coin cannot be "restored" to original condition; it's suffered way too much damage. If you sent it to PCGS or NGC, it would likely come back in a "body bag" as a non grade. Report this Post to the Staff
