Message:: [QUOTE="Barney McRae, post: 25408084, member: 150594"]Going through a vast collection I inherited and finally going into the weeds and details piece by piece lately. (Peace, in this case). I just came across an amazing 1924 Peace dollar, cleanest fields and devices I've ever seen on a silver dollar in hand.  But it's got a small dark spot (and it's tiny) near the rim, but the question is, would you try a soak in acetone or even risk it?  I recently got a coin microscope camera but it's no good for a whole coin photo, so don't ask for one. Is it worth sending off for grading and paying for conservation? (I will send for grading either way).  I only use ANACs and they aren't terribly expensive.  Laugh if you want, but using PCGS photograde, it could be a 66. Opinions? I don't even want to pull it out of the saflip it's in again and risk a disaster, not even for a photo. Not a super valuable coin even in high grade, but a gem plus coin would make my day.[/QUOTE]
