<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 843773, member: 15199"]I doubt it can be done without causing further damage to the coin. It is impossible to tell just from the term "silver solder" as it comes for jewelry use in soft, medium, hard, extra-hard, etc., each with different melting point and most require a micro-torch to properly use rather than a soldering iron as for electronic/electrical solder. If it is a soft silver solder, it <b>might</b> be removed by heating and using a solder sucker device or maybe even solder-wick. Again, I think it is possible it will end up being in worse shape than before. A good jeweler could tell you more and give you a price, but might be better to sell for bullion and buy one without the solder.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
