Not the best one but my first silver dollar. Cleaner Pics.

[mainer]

Well after reading Herbie's (Steelhead will) posts the last few weeks, I decided I would give the sea shore a try and see if it worked for me. So I headed on down, first thing I dig is a little black disc. As I scratched it I saw that it was a merc. So right off the bat it started off good. Pretty soon I got another merc. Then dug a deep hole and out rolls a big round disc. I thought No way. And yes my first silver dollar a 1923 Peace dollar. Wish it was in better shape anyone know of a way to clean up the dollar or the mercs? Dug some odds and ends. A bracelet and a ring. A belt buckle with the letter R on it. And a couple of old buttons. All in all it was a pretty cool afternoon.

If they are common dates and you are not worried about their numismatic value (which has pretty much been wiped out with the help of the salt water), you can always just throw them in a tumbler. I had a bunch of burnt 40% halves I had found coin roll hunting, put them in my tumbler and after an hour or so they came out without any black residue on them. Just another possible option.

Regardless of the condition it is still a big chunk of SILVER and a great find! I have found many halves but have never found a silver dollar. Congratulations!

May I ask how you cleaned it, seems stubborn?? Also if your an adult you should follow my Electrolysis link in your thread or get your parents to help you. It should make those coins silver again.

Keep @ it and HH !!

I just used some baking soda and made a paste, and rubbed it. I have tried electo. on some silver coins I found at the beach a few years ago, and though it did make them silver again, I didnt like the out come. I am goin to leave this one like it is for now.

Great job on the cleaning!
Not too hot, and not too cold, that one looks just right.
