Looks like a deposit of some sort, but not particularly bad. I'd be inclined to leave it.

Greetings one more and many thanks to John1, 1847bill & Tom Goodheart @1847bill, now you mention jewelers rouge, it could be that. Maybe someone has used that on it..... @Tom Goodheart, like you say, I'm inclined not to try and clean it off and just leave it as it is..... @John1, many thanks for the encouragement on trying to post the photo again.  |

Overall that's a very nice coin. Certainly doesn't look like the typical copper spots we sometimes see on gold coins.

Thank you for your comments @wallyb
As a complete novice, I've started to try and learn about some of the variations on these. Like the horse tail, long, short, medium etc. The buried W.W. & Small and large B.P. - I'm sure there are many more variations to look for that I don't know about yet. Would you or anyone else know of a good source for me to learn more about the variations on these?

P.S. When I can find it, I have it somewhere, I have a fairly unusual ten-shilling uncirculated coin I would like to show on here. It's a coin I was gifted by a friend of my father back in the early 1970's. It's the only coin I have kept over the years, until I inherited my fathers coin collection, just recently. As soon as I find it, I'll take some photos and post it here.... |

This colouration will come off with a soak in ammonia .
It is environmental damage , easily dealt with on a gold coin .
Will not hurt the Sovereign ..
