[QUOTE="Gam3rBlake, post: 5225693, member: 115909"]Ok so this may sound [I]really [/I]stupid.. But I got my first ever acid-testing kit and I’ve never done acid-testing so I decided to get a silver bullion coin that I knew was genuine so I could see the results and learn how it’s supposed to work.. I didn’t have any junk silver on hand or I would’ve used that. I have a couple tubes of 2020 American Silver Eagles and I took one of those and dropped a bit of silver acid on it. [B]Yes I know a scratch stone is easier and less destructive. But this was for science! [/B] My question is: Is my acid damaged American Silver Eagle worth less than melt now? Or is it still worth melt like junk silver but just not the small premium ASEs usually fetch? Thanks! [ATTACH=full]1216604[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
