Yeah I meant NCS

I don't know. With toning that dark on nickel, would the surface be etched after dipping?

 

Is there something stuck on the surface inside the V?

[DirtyGoldMan]

Sure, but why bother?

[ldhair]

I don't feel a dip will help much.

The dark area at 4 O'Clock on the obv. probably won't come off.

[Houston Investor]

Yes - use Q tip soaked in dip and gently tap the areas where you want to remove dark toning. This method should work against the dark area at 4 oclock. May take a little effort but I have had good results with worse and they came out with a nice circ look. Just be careful not to scratch the coin. Otherwise your choice is to do nothing and have an ugly coin - not something that would float my boat - I don't like ugly coins.

 

You can then put it in a 2 x 2 staple holder and put in your collector coin pages - looks like it should grade around XF. I find ring binders with coin pages of 20 coins are best for stuff I do not slab. If you are setting up at a show, put the ring binder in your case and one of the pages of coins on top for display. Looks neat.

Thanks for all the awnsers a right mixed bag

 

i may even bid on the coin now

 

Ps thanks for the one star its more than i deserve

[BillJones]

No.

 

The coin is corroded. When a copper or bronze coin “goes bad,” the most commonly seen color is green. When a copper-nickel coin “goes bad” black is the most common color. Nickels, nickel three cent pieces and thick, “white” cents from 1857 to 1864 most often turn black when they corrode. Sometimes you will see green.

 

I’d stay away from this coin unless it is very cheap. It has more problems than just dirt.

[dooly]

Nice one BillJones hear is your star badge. I love stright awnsers

 

 

wiggle the page up and down to see it

[MunkyMan95]

I still don't get that. What do I do to see the star?

[dooly]
