I'm curious... do you plan on cleaning the Half Dime any further or are you going to leave it like that? For me it would be a tough call, but I would probably attempt to get the tarnish off and the natural silver color back if I knew of a very safe way of doing it.

I would stick with encouraging. lol They are out there, Frank, just waiting to be found. Thankfully such finds are no limited to just one relatively small geographical area.Originally Posted by fsa46 link=topic=6608.msg77429#msg77429 date=1312363589
Thanks Paul! It was definitely the type of coin I have been concentrating on finding this year. Now if only a Bust quarter would show up. lolOriginally Posted by FooserPaul link=topic=6608.msg77432#msg77432 date=1312370826

Now that would be an awesome wall to view! I would not be able to sleep in the same room - I would be too busy admiring the coins. lolOriginally Posted by Sheik Yerbooty link=topic=6608.msg77465#msg77465 date=1312389506

I'm just on a good streak Rob. It will end. In the meantime, I'll enjoy the ride.
I would give it a try, but my dry writing would just put readers to sleep. lol Still, it probably would be fun to try and put something together.Originally Posted by Myownwings link=topic=6608.msg77487#msg77487 date=1312401792
Thank you Angie!Originally Posted by Epi-hunter link=topic=6608.msg77501#msg77501 date=1312402784
I think I will leave her as is. I do try to remove sulfide that is thick, but in this case the tarnish on the coin is just a light coating. If I do decide at some future time to remove the tarnish, I will use the method I posted here.Originally Posted by Tony Two-Cent link=topic=6608.msg77528#msg77528 date=1312417993
They really should be showing themselves more. Imagine coming across a coin spill of Capped Bust half dimes. An ambulance would be needed. lolOriginally Posted by Ill Digger link=topic=6608.msg77537#msg77537 date=1312422733

I missed this one! Way to GO!!! It is in such good condition stretcher: stretcher: stretcher: I'm curious too- if you're going to clean it further... Now that I found a rare specimen (1838o seated dime), I know I should be careful about cleaning. I just rinsed mine w/soap-n-water and put it in a coin sleeve. I wanted so bad to use some baking soda-n-aluminum foil to 'shine it up', but I showed restraint lol

The light film of tarnish does not bother me, plus it would be best not to try and clean it. I would have done so had there been a heavy layer of sulfide on it. I don't think you should clean yours, especially with baking soda. It's great as is.Originally Posted by tanacat link=topic=6608.msg77984#msg77984 date=1312770830
That's a beautiful coin and I am sure you were happy to bring it to the surface. Capped Bust anything has to be a tough find, and a half-dime even more so. Congrats!
