I'd suggest tucking it into your pocket with a couple-dozen other copper cents for a couple of months. With a few soaks in acetone in-between... It'll probably drop the grade down to EF/AU, but it'll be an honest EF/AU coin when you're done. Edited by scotty11 05/10/2013 8:56 pm Report this Post to the Staff
acloco Pillar of the Community United States 3540 Posts	Posted 05/10/2013 10:10 pm I would ask Bad Thad what might be done with the carbon spots. They will always be there, at least to some extent. Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18745 Posts	Posted 05/11/2013 3:39 pm I'm going to go with MS62 as the remaining luster appears to be broken up and the hairlines on the obv surfaces. also some rim dings on the reverse. the face on this is really strong. particularly the beard.
