Found a 1949S its in solid condition but what are the dark spots? Is that toning or mold? I tried lightly rubbing it but nothing happened. Just looks weird to me. Anyway, any thoughts on the coin? Nice find at least. Made my day better

SoggyWaffles812 ... If you'd like an evaluation on your coins, you'll need to post clear, focused pictures of the coin...

...we could guess all day long, from your description, but that's wasted effort ...

...pictures on this site need to be under 300KB, & around 800 megapixels in width ...

...here's a link to the CCF tutorial, &, if you're still having trouble, holler for help ... https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...g-images.asp

...looking forward to your pics ...

With no picture to view, and you said you cleaned with no success, I would say they are Tarnish/toning; these dark or black spots are usually silver sulfide.
Once they are formed, they become part of the surface - not removable without damaging the coin's luster. I would leave it alone.

We will gladly help you, but we will need images first. We are locking this topic to prevent posts with "We need images". You will get many more quality responses when there are quality images in the first post of a topic. Please start a new topic when you can upload pictures. If needed, you can use the testing forum. The tutorials are below.

Note: When you start a new topic, this one may be removed. So don't panic if you get an email that your topic was removed; it's only this one.

Tutorial
Uploading Photos.

Editing Tools
PC: We highly recommend IrfanView. (Download) (Irfanview Tutorial)

Apple Computers: Tutorial here: http://goccf.com/t/466343

Cell Phones (iPhone or Android): First, do not upload cell phone pictures of screens. They are terrible. Please check that your camera settings are set to Medium quality. If it uses compression use 70%, it's perfectly fine for the internet. For file type, please use WEBP if your phone has it, otherwise JPG. Avoid PNG and GIF, they are horrible choices. Be sure to crop the image to only show the coin. This is a great setup for cell phones.
