Please, leave it alone! If you do not like it, sell it to someone who will appreciate it (and I feel that is a strong market).

No I haven't tried any acetone or anything ..
The coins is actually slabbed by NTC as EF 45 and in my opinion has the detail of a 53-55 coin ..
That's why I was curious if a dip might take that dark tone off as I though that may have been why they undergraded it , or maybe NTC is all the sudden super conservative lol ...
I was more or less just curious , I thought that possibly the toning could be removed and I could save the coin back until anacs had another special and hopefully get an AU grade while getting The coin in a legit slab ...
It was just a thought ,so since there's not a big jump in value from 45 to 53 and you guys don't think the toning will come off easy I will be leaving it as is!

Heavy, dark toning like that almost never comes off well.

I appreciate everyone's replys.
I don't have much experience dipping coins , I've only done a handful of slightly toned Mercury dimes and a few Walking Liberty halves which all turned out really nice but none of those coin were toned as heavily as this quarter ...

NTC grades should just be ignored and considered nothing more than a holder like a 2x2

There are actually some folks who LIKE dark toned, high grade coins and I am one of them.
Please do not relegate this gem to the vast ocean of 'improperly cleaned' !

I have dipped a few coins and it was not worth the effort unless their is actual crud on the coin unrelated to toning. You can't turn a sow's ear into a silk purse, not saying your coin is a sow's ear. It is what it is.
