They have a crust that has been developing their entire life, and to remove that could make the coin a little funky. Might as well keep them original. I have messed with a fair few bust halves with acetone and wish I didn't. Thanks, I will heed this advice. I generally give all my raw coins a quick acetone dip and have never had a problem.

numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11980 Posts	Posted 01/05/2024 3:36 pm Congratulations! OP, having examined the coin in hand, was the dark spot in the neckline a dark toning spot or displaced metal? IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
