<p>[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2748297, member: 1892"]You can't precisely "reverse" the damage, but you can wear the coin additionally until the signs of that damage go away by carrying it as a "pocket piece" along with other change. There's a 1921 Morgan in my pocket as we speak, undergoing that process. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>It will lose a grade or two along the way, but will at some point - that could be a couple or three years - again just resemble a typical circulated Morgan. At that level of wear, even uncleaned the coin was not worth more than $25-30 or so to begin with, and as a cleaned coin (I don't think it was polished now, the hairlines as shown in your new reverse pic are too prominent; those don't normally survive polishing) it's worth very little over melt value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
