    Thanks everyone for the advise. I paid about $120 for the broach so was hoping to make a bit of money from the coin. Is the option to chemically strip the gold off by taking it to an electroplating shop feasible? It seems to be the only way the gold old be removed cleanly.

    Thanks LemE, the rim you are looking at is not part of the coin, but part of the broach surround that is holding the coin in place. Maybe I should have removed it from the broach before taking the pictures, but was eager to know if it is worth trying to restore the coin to an original condition.

    I have just come into the possession of a CC Morgan silver dollar that has been locked away on a glass broach for a long time. It is in fantastic condition, and seems to check out as genuine. The problem is, it has been gold plated for the broach. Should I look at getting the gold plating removed somehow? Will having it on or off effect the value of the coin? I wish to get it certified by NGC but not sure if it should have to gold plating removed, or is it intrinsically devalued because of the gold plating? The ring you can see in the head shot photo is a small ring holding the coin in the broach. Thanks for any advice
