<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2583501, member: 19463&quot;]I&#039;ll doubt that you will find anything under the brown that&nbsp; you want to see but the type is an early emission which makes silver expected.&nbsp;&nbsp; I would like to know what your method is that would take off the green and not the brown if there is silver below.&nbsp; If you remove the green and like the brown, I would leave well enough alone. Otherwise it is time to get out the lemon juice or vinegar and see if you can ruin the coin.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;[ATTACH=full]561192[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>While I agree with JA&#039;s comment on rapid debasement, There are an awful lot of coins with later emission dates than this with what strikes me as better silver.&nbsp; I suspect there is more to this than a straight early to late debasement but I do not have the answer.&nbsp; Below is a Mars with TRP IIII (later than yours by two years assuming normal use of the numbers).&nbsp; It still has a bit of a silver/billon look.&nbsp; I&#039;d probably risk cleaning it but I&#039;d probably be a bad person to advise on anything related to cleaning.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]561204[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe &#039;properly&#039; billon but some are pretty good looking silver color.&nbsp; 15%? More?&nbsp; IDK!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]561208[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
