My most lustrous Wheat cent has these annoying little dark crud spots. Besides these spots the coin looks almost new. Is there anything I can do to fix this, or am I better off leaving it alone? I don't want to affect the luster, it's a beautiful old coin in my opinion... Report this Post to the Staff

silverstash119 Valued Member United States 182 Posts	Posted 08/28/2020 10:07 am How much does spotting affect the grade, relative to normal wear? Better to have some spotting with original luster and minimal wear, or no luster with zero spotting? Report this Post to the Staff
