<p>[QUOTE="messydesk, post: 3312778, member: 1765"]Looks like the details are XF. If this were a problem-free coin, it would go for between $2000 and $3000. As is, I agree with the $400-600 assessment above, as solder is right up there with a hole when it comes to how bad a problem hurts a coin's value. Solder can be repaired to a certain degree, but not so that it's undetectable to a grading service, as far as I know. NCS does <i>not</i> do solder removal or other mechanical repairs (plugging holes, fixing rims). There are other people that specialize in repairing coins, but you need to go through a guy who knows a guy to get to them, and they don't work for free. Even if they could remove the solder without a trace, the coin still looks cleaned, so now you're talking about a $1000-1200 coin. A skilled jeweler, as mentioned above, or someone skilled in soldering on circuit boards, might be able to remove most of it. While it'll be detectable, it might not be quite the eyesore it is here. Not a DIY job, though.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
