If you're willing to sacrifice the toning, then a quick dip in E-Z-Est should remove them. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff

Jim Archibald Valued Member United States 198 Posts	Posted 04/05/2009 08:34 am This coin is beautiful, though toned. I'd suggest simply reselling it if you prefer a blast white coin for your set. Report this Post to the Staff
