NickelCollector Valued Member United States 212 Posts	Posted 06/09/2015 12:44 pm I recently pulled a 1962 proof nickel out of a coin roll. It's got a nice blue haze on it, but the only problem is, there's these black spots. I've already tried distiller water, which is likely a bad idea. it didn't come off. What should I do? Pics will be posted later. Report this Post to the Staff

bpoc1 Rest in Peace United States 4078 Posts	Posted 06/09/2015 3:58 pm Looks like a carbon spot. Bummer. This is a tough one. Acetone will not eliminate it. Verdi-Care may contain it. Still a very nice coin from a roll. Report this Post to the Staff
NickelCollector Valued Member United States 212 Posts	Posted 06/09/2015 4:08 pm Well, that stinks. But hey, at least it's a 50 year old proof coin with some nice patina! Report this Post to the Staff

Scropper CCF Sponsor United States 702 Posts	Posted 06/10/2015 5:14 pm Not carbon. You could try to loosen it up with acetone on a cue-tip, but it would be a lot more work than it's probably worth, and the result may end up less attractive, even if you're very careful. Report this Post to the Staff
