wha to do about this penny!

[ant]

i think i showed this a while back and it was in gov packaging. now i have carefuly taken it out and photoed it. but what to do. do i send to ncs to save the awsome target tone or do i selve soke?

 

[dean1345]

I would not risk losing the toning.

[ant]

so ncs?

[Dwaine]

I think if you send it to NCS it will remove the toning as well. I don't think there is much you can do to change it.

[ant]

would acitone work without killing colors?

[Bruceswar]

I would leave it as is and not touch it further.

[Coindude]

I think it looks fine Ant and I think it would bring a premium with the target toning.

[ant]

the problem is the tones kinda blocked out with haze. if the haze wasnt there it would be far better. and the colors only realy show at angle. from front on view it doesnt look that great.

I have never seen or heard of acetone removing toning. I don't think you have any issues on this coin that acetone would work on anyway. All I've ever seen acetone do is clean metal, remove some PVC, glue, tape residue, etc...

if i were to show the first pic with none of the rest you wouldnt even know there are colors there. are yall realy telling me that picture 1 is good and that you can clearly see the tone?

Ant,

I can clearly see the circle and a couple of bands. Maybe not as colorful as it looks to you. I Can say acetone won't remove the tone,but I can't say if it will fix the problem.

Slab it then sell on Ebay for $50.

[ldhair]

I don't see acetone helping. It's cool just the way it is.

[James_OldeTowne]

I suspect this coin can't be "helped", but then again, it doesn't really need any help. Very nice as-is.

[ant]

wow i gata stop being so picky i guess. thank you all

[michael]

i would leave it alone

 

it is nice as is

 

if it aint broke dont fix it

[Conder101]

I would leave it alone, you are much more likely to be disappointed with the results of any treatment than to see any significant improvement.
