Ralph Pillar of the Community United States 1582 Posts	Posted 10/09/2006 1:16 pm I'm looking for opinions on the grade of this Sac. It seems it is the most valuable of the series, and, of course, the higher the grade..... The coin in hand doesn't have the white specks, so they are from the scanner, not the coin. I do have one problem with the distraction in the fields. Under magnification they appear to be tiny water spots, or some kind of liquid. Is there a way to clean these coins without disturbing the surface. I've read about cleaning silver coins and copper coins, but nothing about the Sacs. Any help will greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Ralph Pillar of the Community United States 1582 Posts	Posted 10/13/2006 11:30 am Given the value ($100.)of this particular coin in PF-65 ('07 RedBook) I would have thought at least someone would have commented on it, and I'm curious as to why no one has. I'm sure I'm not the only collector here in this forum that has a set. Is it because the series is still new, and not that many consider it collectable? Or, do you suppose the fact that it is of copper and brass that has kept the interest low - no precious metal-no interest? I'm aware of the fact that there are many in circulation, and they are easy to obtain in circulated condition, but a complete set in MS and PF is, in my opinion, necessary for my dollar collection. Also, as I pointed out previously, the spots are still there, and I still would like to know a safe way to remove them without damaging the surface of the coin. Thanks.

Your pictures are kind of pixelated which makes it hard to tell what is on the coin and what is digital noise. As far as the spots go, I believe that is residue from the planchet wash at the Mint. I have a couple proof Sackies with similar "water spots" but I have no idea how to remove them. The manganese cladding is notorious for toning so I would be afraid of doing much of anything to a proof Sacky. Report this Post to the Staff
