<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Clawcoins, post: 2401399, member: 77814&quot;]Thanks every one for the input so far.</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought this coin and a couple other from a local guy in his garage sale several years ago.&nbsp; This one wasn&#039;t badly stained compared to another one.</p><p><br /></p><p>But I really didn&#039;t want to sell it just to have to buy another one with this detail.&nbsp; I love the detail in the coin and the eagle.&nbsp; This is one reason I collect coins, the detail of eagles .. flying eagles, 1925 eagle gold, 1873 eagle gold, modern silver eagles, 1918 Illinois comm and this trade dollar as a few examples.</p><p><br /></p><p>And yes, I don&#039;t want to make it worthless.&nbsp; But it has value for me as stated above.&nbsp; But it certainly looked ugly and I was sick of looking at it like it was.&nbsp; I had read about the do&#039;s and don&#039;ts online, SDs link,&nbsp; but there&#039;s a lot of conflicting information, thus the reason I asked here about it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not a chemist, nor a knowledgeable silver expert, coin expert, etc.&nbsp; I read all the comments and threads, compared it to other stuff on the interwebs.&nbsp; Took advice from other people, etc.&nbsp; and after careful diliberation figured .. why not?&nbsp; I can&#039;t make it look worse than it is if I&#039;m careful and the plan is good and makes sense.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes there are still spots on it which are much more noticeable to me now that the BIG ugly spot is gone.&nbsp; I&#039;ll take better pics when I get a chance to get the white balance to match the former pics instead of my iPhone.</p><p><br /></p><p>But wow, I don&#039;t cringe every time I look at it now.</p><p><br /></p><p>and a friend of mine would have gladly made it into a ring thus really affecting it&#039;s value.&nbsp; lol[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
