rking007 Pillar of the Community United States 784 Posts	Posted 03/04/2013 5:54 pm What are the water looking spots I see on pennies, can they be removed and with what, or does it matter or affect grade? I've hear acetone a few times but I am reluctant to do anything too a few that I think might grade at 65 or higher. Thanks in advance! Russ Report this Post to the Staff

Nothing irks me more then to see a pristine, glaring cherry red, spotless reverse only to flip it over and bam...SPOTS! grrr. Rant over. Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19948 Posts	Posted 03/06/2013 11:25 pm Just a normal part of the mint process. The spots are permanent....unfortunately. That's the whole trick to getting these in higher grades, no spots. It seems like when I find one that's very clean, it will have some nasty hits on it. LOL Lincoln Cent Lover!
