1883 Liberty Seated Dime With Attached Loop 1 1

[Epic Waffle]

Hello again everyone! I recently acquired this very nice 1883 Liberty Seated dime, but there is a loop soldered on for a necklace. Besides this one thing, the coin looks very good. Does anyone here know of a way to remove the attached piece without damaging the coin any further?

Once a jewelry piece always a jewelry piece, there is no way to remove a jewelry mount without leaving evidence of the mount on the coin.

Hello and welcome to the forum. Unfortunately, the coin is irrevocably damaged. There is no way to remove the loop setting without damaging the coin or leaving indications of the loop. The coin looks to be in low AU condition but it also appears to have been improperly cleaned as indicated by the hairline scratches and overall dull appearance of the coin. Cheers

The mount can be removed, but the coin would still receive a details grade for "Mount Removed". I also agree with Mike that this piece was improperly cleaned seeing as it was being used as a jewelry piece and a persons sweat and oils would have made the silver turn ugly colors quickly.

Unfortunately, there is no way to reverse this damage.
