<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Victor, post: 928300, member: 5454&quot;]Thank you.&nbsp; This is the type of reply I was looking for exactly.&nbsp; I don&#039;t have a specific coin in mind now but I did.</p><p>&nbsp; It&#039;s a 1907-S $20 gold piece with some minor green dots on the reverse and a distracting orange spot on the obverse at 12:00.&nbsp; At least that is what it looked like. </p><p>&nbsp;I confess I did an acetone dip which got rid of some of the green dots [pvc] but didn&#039;t do much for the orange [copper] stain.</p><p>&nbsp;Welp it then got a quick dip in EZ-est and some minor fiddling with a q-tip.</p><p>Sent it in to ANACS where it graded MS-63.</p><p>&nbsp;There are some collectors who don&#039;t mind the orange spots on gold.</p><p>But I am not thrilled by them.&nbsp; Now that it&#039;s slabbed if the spot returns I guess I will live with it.</p><p>&nbsp;Then I looked up the value of a 1907-S in MS-63.&nbsp; Wow it&#039;s up there in the $3,200 to $3,380 range.&nbsp; If I had researched the value prior to messing with it I would have probably sent it to NCS.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
