I wonder if those spots will come off? I'd grade it AU-50.

Bandsdean, thank you. And they look like they might. Think I might soak it in some acetone and see what happens. I'll post the results if they do come off.

Econrad- thanks for the input! I appreciate it.

Here's an update on the acetone soak. It didn't remove the black spots but seemed to have lightened up the coin a bit.
