[QUOTE="Treashunt, post: 246326, member: 6763"]lake: I really like Barbers, and collect all series. As for the 1899, it appears that it may have been buried at some time int eh past. It may clean up with a dip or you may try acetone, soak and rinse. I'm not sure, but I think that the acetone is the way to go. Just follow the directions that some have given in another link recently. As for the 1904S, nice condition for a very scarce coin. Silver will naturally turn darker over time. That is the nature of the metal. 99.99% of old silver coins that you see that are bright white have been dipped to remove the toning. It can be caused by many factors, mostly environmental, for example, those old brown coin envelopes, that have sulphur (spelled wrong).[/QUOTE]
