[QUOTE="Jim-P, post: 7357858, member: 118020"]Got some ugly dollars here. Background: I bought many silver coins in the early '90s, many/most were in mylar flips, and I've recently given all the in-mylar ones an acetone bath and transferred to inert containers. Some of the Peace dollars still have unsightly green discoloration. These two pictures were taken at lighting and angles that bring out the worst of them. Some look like a bad case of acne, almost like acid got splashed on them rather than mylar induced corrosion. I'm considering either cleaning the bad ones (I don't know how) for my own album viewing enjoyment or trying a test of carrying one around in my pocket for a while to see if that will give it a more natural appearance. I wouldn't try to sell them without disclosing their shortcomings so I'm pretty much stuck with them. The price of silver was low when I bought them but I still paid more than today's melt value. Any advice on how to get more enjoyment out of coins like this? Thanks, Jim [ATTACH=full]1282684[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1282685[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
