carmykle Pillar of the Community United States 2448 Posts	Posted 06/26/2010 1:13 pm Bought this from a little old lady that said she used it as a book mark. Should I try to remove the acid from the paper? 3 years ago, it was a light yellowish brown tone but now the toning is turning black. Still has some luster. How do I save the coin? The coin is still silver colored. I'm having trouble with my lighting. Going back to incandescent. Report this Post to the Staff

I'd let it soak for a few minutes in acetone then rinse it under cool, running water. Pat dry with a clean, lint free cloth. Try to get some better pics also.

carmykle Pillar of the Community United States 2448 Posts	Posted 07/03/2010 7:03 pm As I stated on an earlier post. I played with the white balance. It really does'nt look this good. I did think it had a decent strike. One gentlemen thought it was an MS-62. I thought he had been drinking. Come to think of it, so was I. Report this Post to the Staff
BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 07/03/2010 7:32 pm There are many other options to improve the appearance of your coin but I hesitant to recommend any for a coin like the 1921 Peace dollar. Okay - I give. One product I've had success with is Lindner's Coin Cleaner: http://www.lindner-usa.com/index.ph...ucts_id=2232 It is pricey but does a good job. Just remember to soak only! Do not rub the coin in any way. Rinse under cool running water after soaking then carefully pat dry. Good Luck! ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
