The Peace dollar has been corroded and cleaned. __________________ knowledge ..... share it   01-09-2009, 02:05 AM   #3 (permalink) Harryj Supporter**   Join Date: May 2008 Posts: 1,931 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by GDJMSP The Peace dollar has been corroded and cleaned. Does silver corrode? If it does, i'm assuming it can because its not pure and mixed with copper? __________________   01-09-2009, 03:38 PM   #4 (permalink) GDJMSP Numismatist     Join Date: Nov 2002 Location: PA Posts: 23,515 Quote: Originally Posted by Harryj Does silver corrode?

So will many other substances. __________________ knowledge ..... share it   01-08-2009, 03:28 PM   #5 (permalink) Harryj Supporter**   Join Date: May 2008 Posts: 1,931 My Mood: here's a shot i took last night.

The Peace either sat in acid too long, was subjected to massive heat, or is a spark erosion counterfeit.   01-08-2009, 04:30 PM   #7 (permalink) Treashunt The Other Frank     Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: New York Posts: 16,668 nah, both just cleaned __________________ The Other Frank "Buy The Book Before The Coin!" http://www.whitmanbooks.com/Default....wUpcoming_1208   01-08-2009, 05:32 PM   #8 (permalink) GDJMSP Numismatist     Join Date: Nov 2002 Location: PA Posts: 23,515 Quote: Originally Posted by Treashunt nah, both just cleaned What kind of cleaning is that you know that creates pits all over the coin ? __________________ knowledge ..... share it   01-08-2009, 06:55 PM   #9 (permalink) Arizona Jack The Lincoln-ator     Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: Dry Heat USA Posts: 6,754 My Mood: Yeah, the Morgans been scrubbed, but something about that Peace looks odd to me besides the pitting, the rim looks " funny " on both obv and rev. __________________ W.I.N.S / ANA / SLCC / Mesa Coin Club I am a poker player ..."thats beyond trailer trash" Joan Rivers on Celebrity Apprentice, 4/09 Hot Sauce Fanatic !!!   01-08-2009, 07:05 PM   #10 (permalink) schroeder2246 ...     Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: TN Posts: 330 The morgan definitely looks cleaned (I think the lines all over the surface are a pretty good indicator of that... maybe I'm thinking of something else) Something happened to that peace dollar... absolutely more harmful than cleaning.   01-08-2009, 05:17 PM   #11 (permalink) Harryj Supporter**   Join Date: May 2008 Posts: 1,931 My Mood: the surface of the peace looks funny.......perhaps it did sit in acid. The morgan does look cleaned. They are both starting to retone a little. __________________   01-08-2009, 10:40 PM   #12 (permalink) Tater Coin Collector     Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: Utah Posts: 1,624 My Mood: Boy that 22 looks like its been beat. Looks like corrosion, but I didn't think silver corroded. My guess is acid. __________________ Roll Searching Since July 2007 2310 rolls halves 125-40% halves 30-90% halves   01-08-2009, 10:59 PM   #13 (permalink) rzage What Goes Around Comes A     Join Date: Apr 2008 Location: Chicago Posts: 5,447 My Mood: Both cleaned , the Peace maybe sat in salt water or in the ground . rzage __________________ Instant Karmas gonna Get you:John Lennon ANA member #R3146234   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
