Thanks for your insights fren, it's really appreciated. You make a really good point about lack of demand, i was too focused on rarity but it's indeed the main factor i should have taken into consideration, after all, who will look after them if they don't know it exist in the first place? I've advanced the hypothesis that since they were struck during a coup d'etat who almost costed Barillas' head in 1889, the rebels may have melted them down to finance their revolution since they got a hold on the capitale for a while, and thus why they are unheard of? It's only speculations on my part, but since i've seen pictures of the silver version of the coin on guatemalan numismatic sites but not the gold one, i was wondering if it could explain it... They may end up have more historic value than numismatic one.

>have a bunch of relatively cheap coins to practice on, since gold and silver turned into jewelry is basically just scrap to a coin collector.
I'd rather leave it as a jewel than butcher them then, as even those silver coins are pretty rare, i'd feel like i betray history if i end up doing an horrible job at it (guaranteed, i've the dexterity of a bear on crack).

>no matter how you do it, the coin will be considered ruined.
That's quite sad, because the surface of the silver coins are really nice for the most part.

>so if the coin isn't 24k pure gold it's going to be destroyed by nitric acid
Good to know, it's .875 gold for both Carerra & Barillas coins, so no bueno...

While searching for a bit i've found pros are using a kind of mini solder vacuum to progressively suck up the dissolved/molten solder. Also to get rid of the solder without damaging the gold underneath they apparently are using a mix of ammonium bifluoride, muriatic acid, hydrogen peroxide, acetic acid... it seems super complicated and far beyond my level of expertize. All i know about chemistry is if i add grenadine syrup to my milk it tastes good...

How do you spend 4k in a strip club?
You tried to impress hookers making them believe you were rich or something?
