Errorcoins Member United States 703 Posts	Posted 09/21/2006 12:32 pm I'm thinking about buying an expensive error coin that is silver, but it has a toned square on the reverse from tape? It looks toned so I don't think acetone is the answer. This coined is damaged in my opinion and I know dipping is taboo, but......? Do I just pass on the coin, or buy and live with the square, or do the taboo of light dipping which I don't want to do. Any sugestions? I think I'll pass but..... Report this Post to the Staff

Errorcoins Member United States 703 Posts	Posted 09/21/2006 12:37 pm what about thumbing the coin, reducing the grade possibly, but possibly getting rid of the straight lines? I still think I'll pass...... just wanted opinions. Report this Post to the Staff
Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 09/21/2006 12:57 pm Hi errorcoins There is the option of conservation,, its market acceptable and the coin will be slabbed and graded . If the value is in the particular coin for such treatment, then the option could be considered. Rick Report this Post to the Staff
ageka Pillar of the Community Belgium 2078 Posts	Posted 09/21/2006 2:22 pm Just a couple of ideas If the coin is damaged that should make it a lot cheaper I personally could not live with a damaged coin So depending on the price I would ask my friend what to do with it because let's face it we got several chemistry trained people on this forum and there is nothing secret those expensive conservation people can do that a good chemist / metallurgist cannot do either So it is stripping and perhaps accelerated natural retoning And in the end it comes down to lots and lots of previous experience preferably on worhtless coins Report this Post to the Staff
Errorcoins Member United States 703 Posts	Posted 09/21/2006 4:04 pm I don't think I could live with the mark. The coin is priced less because of the mark. This is not a one of a kind error. I could buy the same error on another coin, it would just be way more expensive for the grade. I will pass on this one hoping to find another. Report this Post to the Staff
