I got this one for cheap in order to fill my Dansco. Planned on cracking it out of the holder. Should I dip it in acetone to remove the discoloration? I know acetone wont cause any harm, but what exactly is the yellowing anyways? Appreciate the help   *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. *** |

I dont think Acetone will help remove the spots. They are due to toning.

Like previously said, acetone probably won't do anything on toning but it certainly isn't a valuable coin to go ahead and try it. Somebody sure lost money on getting that slabbed at 66.

I wouldn't crack it. Acetone will not do anything.

I concur with the others...acetone won't help. The yellow is toning.

I don't think I've ever seen an ASE graded 66. Must have quite a few marks to get down there. |

Definitely don't crack it! It is already in the holder, so leave it. Find another one raw, (probably cheaper and nicer condition).

Crack it out and put in your set! I would argue that a slabbed 66 HURTS the value. That's a really low grade for one of these. This confirms it's not a high quality coin. Odds are a raw one would grade 66 or higher.

This coin does not need to be in a slab. Crack it and fill that spot in your Dansco.

First, wrong forum. Second, only worth what a raw 1994 ASE would be. Edited by jack jeckel

My fault about forum placement..
I figured it was a cheap coin so cracking wouldn't do any harm, but there seems to be mixed opinions about cracking it.

I agree with the group to just crack it.
With a grade of MS 66 the slab gives it no extra value.
I feel the grade would have to be MS 69 or MS 70 to make it worth
leaving in the slab.
I would crack it .. dip it to remove the spots ... and put into album.

Thanks for the opinions. What would you dip the coin in? Acetone? Or a silver cleaner? I know acetone wouldnt cause harm but not sure about dipping
