    Solder Removal

    Thanks for the excellent feedback. I believe I did identify the coin in an earlier post as a Dime from Hawaii, dated 1883 and is in what I would call AU condition. I also believe that the coin is silver. I am not going to attempt to remove the solder as I too believe that I would most likely ruin it. I don't know what the value of this coin is but I will leave it alone in any case. Should I find that it is of some high value I might send it out to one of the shops you have recommended. Thanks Bob

    Solder Removal

    More great feedback. As I don't want to ruin the coin and It would appear that I most likely don't have the equipment necessary to properly remove the solder perhaps I should just leave it alone. I don't know the value of the coin but I guess that I could most likely just reduce it by playing with the solder.

    thanks for the tip. I'll try it. once I have completed the surgery I will take a photo of the coin and post it on my Omnicoin site.

    Solder Removal

    I am not sure what the joke is, but my question was serious and I am looking for some suggestions as to how to remove the solder. I believe that I will attempt to remove it with the soldering iron and a soft brush. As to the value of the coin, I don't know just how much it might be worth but I tend to like the coin and don't want to ruin it. The coin is a Dime from Hawaii, dated 1883 and is in what I would call AU condition. Thanks for your suggestions.
  5. Hello All; I have a coin that was installed in some jewlery at one time and I am wondering if anyone has any idea how to remove a small amount of solder left on the coin. The solder remaining is very small and only in one location on the rim of the coin. Thanks
