1853-O Seated Half-Dime Today

[GopherDaGold]

My field of dreams keeps giving. Today I found my 3rd silver, an 1853-O Seated Half-Dime.
We are expecting Snow-mageddon starting tomorrow so it's nice to go out with a bang.

It's 75% silver and I already ran it under warm water with a brush. That is the cleanest I could get it. I would like to get the dark spots off and I'm open to suggestion on how to do that.

Very nice coin.

I'd leave that patina (black spots) on there. It took that girl a long time to get that way. JMHO.

Electrolysis will remove the stain, as will a scrub with baking soda and water paste.

Congrats on the sweet little coin!
