I have examined many Seated Dollars, genuine and counterfeits alike and IMHO, your coin is 100% authentic and a beautiful specimen even if it has been dipped. In fact, if it were not for the dipping, I could see a TPG giving it a Market Grade of at least a MS-62 due to it&#039;s rarity. The combination of a low mintage and yes the fact that most of these were sent overseas in payment of War debt, makes your coin extremely rare...especially in it&#039;s grade/condition.</p><p><br /></p><p>I agree with Treashunt (another Frank with a frank opinion) about how to retone the coin! However, I don&#039;t agree with you about placing it in the brown envelope and not re-dipping it first! Normally I would not recommend this (re-dipping) action as the process tends to dull the luster on a coin but in the case of your coin, the damage has already been done. The blotchy spots of bad toning that are on the coin now, will be much more enhanced if the coin is not re-dipped to remove them before placing it in the brown envelope to retone once again. If Walmart is still in business in Germany, I would recommend trying to get the Silver Jewelry Cleaner that is sold in the Jewelry Department of most Walmart Stores. If you still have one near you and they don&#039;t have the Silver Jewelry Cleaner, they should be able to order it for you. If not, then you might be able to order it yourself. The cleaner is called Silver Jewery Cleaner with &quot;Revitalizing&quot; above the name and it is made by Connoisseurs. I have included the link below to the Silver Jewelry Cleaner that you should get. Unlike the normal Dipping solution that Coin Dealers use, this Silver Cleaner will not remove the luster from Silver coins if used correctly, in that I mean sparingly. The container has a wash tub in which you place the coin, then submerge the coin in the Silver Cleaner. If you give the coin one, two or three quick dips, then quickly rinse the coin thoroughly under cold water and pat (not rub) dry in a soft bath towel, all should be well. The blotchy spots of bad toning should have been removed and once the coin has been allowed to air dry and acclimate to room temperature, you can place it in the brown envelope. With the blotchy spots of bad toning gone, the coin should retone in the brown envelope more evenly and with a more pleasing outcome!</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.connoisseurs.com/jc/LDC_silver.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.connoisseurs.com/jc/LDC_silver.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.connoisseurs.com/jc/LDC_silver.htm</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for sharing another one of your beautiful and rare coins!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Frank[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
