[QUOTE="MontCollector, post: 3793680, member: 85496"]IMO all Morgan Dollars have some collector value, so yes I would try to remove the color. The first thing I would try is giving it a 100% pure acetone bath. NOT nail polish remover. The paint looks pretty thick in some places so you might have to give it several baths changing the acetone every time. Use in a well ventilated room and only in a clean glass container. Acetone will melt plastic. Once the Acetone has removed all the paint set coin on soft cloth and let it air dry. Acetone evaporates very quickly at room temp.
