I really don't like to clean, or soak coins, but maybe your right, will it hurt it, I'm not sure, never cleaned a coin before
Rick- If you use pure acetone, it will not hurt the coin at all to give it a soak(just don't scrub it). Acetone will not alter the appearance of the coin in any way. It will just remove a lot of surface junk.
rick you can rest assured that the coin you have here is worth only 5 cents. please wipe them boogers off before spending it.
cost me nothing, all I have to do is show up at coin show, theres potter, hand it to him to look at, all free, one of the good things about living in michigan
Tell Mr Potter that his old friend down in the hills of Kentucky told you it was boogers . EDIT: actually the coin looks like it may have solder on it.
already soak it, and everything is still there, its full of die clashes, I new it was, thats why I'm going to show it to potter, hopefully he'll photo it, and put it in the new cherry picker guide coming out, if you look in the latest one, my name is in it, at least four times, so far, he's photoed four of my coins, for the new cherry pickers guide, I'll post new photos of the clashes tomorrow, thanks everybody for showing up, and a special thanks to jallengomez, for telling me about the acid tone, never cleaned a coin before
An extra dome on top of a dome wouldn't really indicate a die clash, a die clash shows a reversed and flipped image from the opposite side, not one from the same. I see no evidence whatsoever of a clash of Jefferson on the reverse side. Let us know what Potter says...but I'll call it not a clash.
Rick you need to listen to what the good folks on this forum are saying and you could learn about error coins easier.
2003 Philly and Denver for the last year type Jefferson nickel. I have seen one graded here or ebay even a post a members thats gone or missed this? . Richard thanks for looking!! That is what keeps die variety alive !
heres a site for die clashes, theres all kinds of clashes, and maybe I didn't say what kind of die clash, but still a die clash, for all you book worms, read on, heres one of the links http://www.maddieclashes.com/Type_I_and_II_counter_clash.html
why would you try to wash something that would never come off, like non cents said, some of this coin has extra metal (motto) at least non cents new that, but I'm surprised he didn't know it was a counter clash, but thats ok, I did, and thats all that matters
