[QUOTE="Ben Jefferson, post: 8203998, member: 116103"]I got a great deal on this Peace dollar. I thought I could conserve it, but after removing the ash stains with MS70, I noticed a few problems. 1. There were no bag marks. 2. The surface was not quite right. 3. The dot between "E" and "PLURIBUS" is completely missing. 4. The eagle feathers had more depth in the design. It also failed to weigh as much as a real Peace dollar. The seller has a lot of stuff for sale and none of it is coin, so I think they didn't know. They processed my return request and hopefully will not be trying to sell it as real again! Reverse of fake peace dollar after conservation work.
