thq Pillar of the Community United States 3344 Posts	Posted 04/13/2020 10:13 am Since posting this, it's been in my pocket with other coins, and is now pretty smoothed on the edges. In attempting to flatten it I dented it some more, but it does lay flat now. The original purchase price is now melt value. The original ebay seller didn't get any added value for the rarity. I haven't seen another one in any condition in the last six months. "Two minutes ago I would have sold my chances for a tired dime."

benv New Member United States 48 Posts	Posted 04/13/2020 1:22 pm I'll definitely put my vote toward leaving it alone, I'm sure there are collectors out there who can't afford a straight grade but would still like to own that kind of rarity. Heck, at the right price, I'd have a hard time saying no, gold rush SF gold always catches my attention. Report this Post to the Staff
realeswatcher Pillar of the Community United States 1962 Posts	Posted 04/14/2020 5:44 pm If the goal is to try to make the piece halfway respectable, maybe have a jeweler or similar who's good with metalwork try to work on minimizing/repairing the big problems (file down the edge issues, maybe touch up some of those field ticks). Once that's done, THEN pocket piece it some (though not down to AG!) to restore a more honest look to the surfaces after whatever "help" it gets. Report this Post to the Staff
YourGeorgiaPeach Valued Member United States 287 Posts	Posted 04/16/2020 5:34 pm Whether people are for or against it, I can't deny this is a pretty neat little experiment, haven't seen anything quite like it yet. Good on you for the progress you made, it's a relief that the coin was already details so not too much value was lost. YGP Report this Post to the Staff
