<p>[QUOTE="Insider, post: 2693288, member: 24314"]If you want a blast white coin, buy one. The only blast you are going to get from this coin is a bashing from your friends here for ruining it. Don't you understand? There is no "white surface" under the sulfur. The surface is dull down far enough that the only way you can get any silver shine is to whiz the coin down to VF+. If you attempt to work on this piece you are going to have an ugly "dog." Right now it is rather attractive to some of us. In fact, it is possibly worth more money to trade out of it for more than you paid.</p><p><br /></p><p>Unfortunately, your coin is not AU. Your coin will NEVER straight grade as is, or after you "fix-it-up." </p><p><br /></p><p>I'll guarantee that not one of the four conservation services would touch that coin - but of course, you know better. The sad thing to me is that you own the coin and you can also saw it in half if you wish. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Good Luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
