<p>[QUOTE="Alabama Stacker, post: 8242100, member: 136297"]OK, as a follow up, and in the interest of full disclosure, here are some pics of some of the silver rounds I mentioned, that I used an eraser on. First I will address the 'Draped Bust' round. This is a problem girl. This round is un-reeded and was heavily tarnished, with black, ugly sections on both sides and the edges. Under close observation, you can see the micro scratches from the eraser treatment I did. It's 100x better looking than it was, and since it's just bullion, I'd say that's a plus. Also, this is really a no-name round, not even a date - I can hardly even find any examples of it online. She kind of looks like a hag. It checks out as 3-nines-fine, though, and 1 oz. of silver.</p><p><br /></p><p>Next is the 'American Prospector' rounds. These had some ugly black places, but only needed a very gentle wipe to pick them up. These actually do have some collector premium (mine are from 1984). I hope I have kept that intact. With high magnification, you can see where I touched them, but only just barely, and it's only in a small place or two.</p><p><br /></p><p>They don't look as nice as a 2022 Aussie Kangaroo, though!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1450870[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1450871[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1450872[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1450873[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
