Thanks Rick, unfortunately the slight damage may have been caused by me, for some reason, the way the coin is positioned it throws my pinpointing off with the AT Pro. Plus it was hitting in the high 80's, was thinking trash, making me be less careful Lesson learned, albeit a costly one. Have you use anything to clean it up. looking to clean my 1912 quarter. just wandering what i could uses.

There are a few schools of thought on cleaning coins, the vast majority say do not do it, especially for a valuable coin, it can decrease the value. For my 1927, just a bit of silver cleaner and a jewelry cleaning cloth. There are some who would say even that severely takes away from the value of the coin, I'm not sure, it just cleaned the dirt of it. I've had some older silver coins, not worth a lot, but had a black tarnish on it which I could not remove with the above procedure, so this is what I used:
Warning: before trying this, keep in mind, it may affect the value of your coin
Get a plastic bowl and line the bottom with aluminium foil, shiny side up;
Add Salt
1 Tbsp of baking soda
1/2 cup boiling water
1/2 cup white vinegar.
place coin in mixture, move it around, flip it etc, make sure all sides get exposure to foil.
Works wonders, again, not sure how it will affect the value of the coin, maybe some other with experience on this matter can offer an opinion.
Cheers
Tony
