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

If you want to purchase a bright coin, I would be more than happy to purchase the one you showed and asked about lightening. And I'm sure I'm not the only one. Just let us know where and when you list it for sale.

I don't have images of the before, and unfortunately I didn't keep the NGC slab so I could look it up - live and learn. Looks much better in person. Natural sunlight.

 

I guess that the dealer buddy has better success selling the
bright white Morgans, rather than nice coins that may not look nice at first because of dark toning. And so, he automatically dips everything. Last coin show I attended, every single dealer had hundreds of blast white Morgans. I couldn't even look at them any more, it was blinding.
I raise my offer to 15% over spot.

 

"What's the best way to make this coin more attractive?"
I didn't vote because the options are very vague.
I'd ask:
Leave in current state
Dip
Try Acetone Dip
Get it slapped
Wire brush

 

Use a sander and turn it into a low relief 1921. Then consign it to your world traveling expert to peddle it as a one-of-a-kind rarity.

 

Less work to just dip it for a VERY long time.

 

The exact formula I have seen used on tons of 21 Peace Dollars. Washed out and lusterless, but white like they were minted last week

 

Get an old toothbrush some toothpaste you will put a shine on that dollar but the results might not make you to happy.

 

Let me be Frank with you

 

Thank you.

 

Thank you

 

By the way:
Your poll makes no sense

 

I once asked Frank, "May I be frank?" Frank said, "Is that your name?" I said, "No, my name is Eddie." Frank said, "OK, be Frank."

 

Overnight seems to be about the right amount of time.

 

Is everyone forgetting how well baking soda works between your fingers?

 

Did you buy this coin as a nice AU, or uncirculated? If the seller sold it as BU, it isn't, because that stands for "Brilliant Uncirculated", which this coin isn't because it is toned. If you aren't happy with it, sell it and find one you are happy with. It's like marrying someone and trying to make them into the spouse you want, rather than waiting until you find the one that fits your checklist. Trying to change them usually ends in divorce, and brings unhappiness and misery - just like screwing up a perfectly good coin.

 

no, no, no.

I said: Okay, be frank.

 

Can I be Frank? I'll be honest if you'd rather...
