Thanks bushman74 l like getting all the different ideas as to how to deal with a problem. When you talk about rubbing the coin after soaking in vegetable oil you just mean with your fingers?? I was a little unsure of a long soak in the acetone but did try it on one coin . It did a not bad job of rem...

Thanks Coinguy, For me the most important thing is to get rid of the tape glue with out hurting the coin, will track down some acetone and give it a try.

Still no one wants to have any input on this?? Coinguy indicated that it was only worth the silver value , so that would indicate that you can’t devalue it by cleaning it.

MDracing , i see where you didn't get anyone replying to your question. lets try again. I just got a few silver dollars. One in similar condition as the one you show in your picture but on top of the staining it has 50 year old Scotch Tape across one side :twisted: then some others that are quite ni...

Point taken. I sure don’t think of myself as any kind of a expert, and anyone that’s in to coin collecting should gather as much info as they can, from as meany sources as they can and then draw there own conclusions . To your point of cleaning in away that would enhance the look of a coin . If anyo...

I have the same problem!! I only ever use my tablet or computer to go to this web site. No problem there only on my phone

Darn I thought i might get something going on the does and don'ts .
Some one out there must have advise thats better them mine

I think it all depends on if your a collector or a dealer. Do you want to make money at this hobby or do you just enjoy collecting . If you want to make money then stay away from anything you even think might be cleaned. If your collecting then collected what you think looks good. And once its yours...

Thanks for the info . Will check out those sites and make a plan.
Bushman74,I know you had put a invite out to everyone to say hello at the Edmonton coin show but I was truly lost in looking at all the stuff there that I never noticed any booth names, next year I’ll try to pay more attention .

I did more investigating on non numismatic sites, just silver values, looks like silver at .72 cents per gram should have the value of a 1967 at closer to the $14 value then $9.75
But I’m still wanting to hear any opinions out there on what I should expect as a value on a 1967 silver dollar.

Sorry but I’m getting confused, this web sight is saying “ melt or minimum value “ is $14.22.
I was at the Edmonton show and should have been asking questions there but was distracted by all the coins and banknotes I wanted but could not afford

Ya JNOD, you have it right, most all of my collection is circulated coins and bank notes, interesting to think who might have used it to purchase what!!!!

Sounds good thanks, if someone buys them for melt they must be planing on holding them hoping silver price goes up or how do they make anthing on them themselves??????

I have a few 1967 silver dollars and am wondering . if i take them in to a coin show will i find a dealer willing to give me melt value for them at a minimum . or what should i expect???

Mags, I can’t tell you a value on your banknotes but if you look on eBay or get out to a coin show in your area you will find that your bills are worth more then face value no matter what shape they are in . You just have to market them correctly and find a buyer . Lots of people do it,,
