Hey everyone The frist two pictures are of an 1919 MS-65 Travis wanted a closer look at ....however the next 3 pictures are of an 1913 D type 2 Is it worth saving...as in sending in for restoration? red book good is 100.00 you tell me :secret: Paddy OH I forgot to add I got this coin in change today in Va. down there on business!
In that condition, I don't think the 1913-D is worth anywhere close to $100. Nor do I think it's worth the fees try to have it conserved. But it's still a fun find.
Poor coin looks to have some environmental damage. I'm not sure its worth sending to NCS, but something should be done to try and rescue that thing. I'm just concerned about what you might find underneath.
Have a look at this 1918 D with clash marks error......@ 8 to 9 in the date and on the chin ....how would you grade this coin?
I would soak the 13-D in Tarn-X for a couple of days. That should make it look a lot better! :thumb: Ribbit Ps: Use a small jar with a sealable lid, since Tarn-X evaporates fast! :goofer:
Not worth sending in to anyone for an attempt to restore. However, a great coin for experimenting. I'd start with just soaking in distilled water. then possibly some Acetone. Some have said Vinegar has some effects for restoration but I've had no luck with that. Try some miscellaneous items around the house such as Tomato Juice, Lemon Juice, molases, etc. The main thing is to not use any kind of brush, rags or towels to rub off anything. Try being gentle with what you try.
Don't use anything with acid, it will make it copper colored. That's why I use Tarn-X for cleaning a nickel but it takes several days soaking to get them clean(er). Ribbit
