Good evening, have a peace dollar that has a spot that has white haze look to it on the reverse. Any thoughts of what it might be?
I think the letter appearance is just because of the lighting and texture, but I'll bet that's exactly what happened. Now that you mention it, I've seen other silver coins where someone cluelessly did that, and yes, that's exactly what it looked like.
I agree with the others assessment too. It's really a shame because other than that, the coin is beautiful.
Thanks for everyone's helpful information. I have a nephew that still will be thrilled to receive it. Regards.
You can give it a little direct sunlight on a windowsill which will work on darkening it, some, but if you do that, be careful and keep checking it, at least every hour, as the effects are pretty much irreversible. Outside of that you're pretty much stuck with it the way it is. Any personally, FWIW, I think it's still a nice-looking coin.
