What's the best thing to do with this 1921 peace dollar to make it look more attractive

I'd leave it as is.

But if you do dip it, first learn How to properly dip it. Strength of the dip, and time etc is very critical.

I know diddle-squat about it except for that. I've only cleaned a few bad area coins based on recommendations here with specific instructions.

But I like it the way it is, though truthfully I do like "clean" looking coins but I balance that with knowing that if someone cleans a coin you'll have to look at the indicators of those processes to know if your coin was just natural, or cleaned and if so, if it was damaged during the process.

I wonder to whom you refer? I had an immediate thought as soon as I read his statement about a world traveling expert dealer.. Maybe, Aruba or Dubai, or....

 

Maybe....

 

I wonder why we haven't seen the second coming around much lately? I'm still waiting for even a very basic or generic description of the world-changing grading "method", and it's not like I'm going to live forever. Hell, I'm still waiting to be propelled 1000 years into the future, and can only hold my breath for so long...

I'm almost embarrassed to admit how long it took me to catch this, but well played...


You just have to love CT!

 

Why would you bring your poor mom into this I'm glad I know how you like your coffee I should be able to sleep better tonight

 

The above-mentioned troll (not the OP) hasn’t been on line since Oct. 11.

While I’m at it, a certain other member who specializes in selling coins he doesn’t have, is still lurking about, FYI.

 

That's great! Remember.. No coffee before going to bed. It will keep you up!
Unless you suffer from migraines like both my mom and me. Half a cup of black coffee and we are good!

 

What no coffee before bed, wow sometimes I'll stop at WAWA and 20 oz. dark roast
late at night.
Black no sugar.

 

Very interesting. Inquiring minds....? :)

 

No but I'm going to tell him about it and he's an older guy if he does it you'll see the kind of knowledge this guy got

 

That went completely over your head...

That said, though; the time for talking has passed. No one has any interest in simply telling you what you want to hear, so if all you're now going to do is talk up this unknown individual while smearing a membership you know nothing about, please do consider another old saying: put up or shut....

 

@1916DMerc, don't clean it! It looks good as is.

You will likely do irreversible damage to it.

 

At this point even if David Hall and John Albanese invited this guy over to Q. David Bowers house to discuss why this coin should not be dipped, he'd do it anyway.

 

I stand corrected.. He's an older guy, that settles it right there.

I'm curious as to why you decided to come ask our opinions, when you knew coming in, what you were going to do with the coin? It's obviously yours to do with what you wish, but don't ask for opinions on what to do with a coin, if in the end you are going to simply ignore them. Not a good way to introduce yourself to this forum.

I wish you luck on your endeavors to transform a unique and beautiful '21 Peace Dollar so that it's added to the ranks of the other boring and average '21 Peace Dollars.

 

OP, Take a pencil eraser and rub it on your Peace Dollar. Brasso metal polish is another great option.

If you are determined to ruin that coin by unnecessarily cleaning it, might as well go all out with it, right?

 

Nice.. But if your going to go all out, why not play parking lot hockey with it.

 

Where do people like the OP come from? Is there a factory that turns them out?

 

I weep for the coin...

 

Try a baking soda and water paste. It worked like a charm to turn a $750 coin into one that I sold for $250.

 

You are an evil person...
