QUOTE from BadThad:

"As a first step, I'd put a drop of distilled water on it, let it sit for a couple minutes, then work it with a toothpick (while under fluid). Then I'd soak it in acetone for 5 minutes and see if it improves. Chance are, even with VC, a stain is going to be left behind and usually only a dip can get rid of that."



Bad THAD: One Thousand Thanks!

I placed a drop of distilled water on the spot,used a Q-tip gently on the spot to soak up the water, then placed it in a jar with pure acetone for 3 days in my garage.

Today, I removed it from the acetone,rinsed gently and then placed another drop of distilled water on the spot and this time I used a tooth-pick gently on the spot. Dried it off with a Q-tip and here is the results:


!

Its like brand new, the spot just looks like a hit from another coin etc. The premium value has returned!

This coin will easily grade MS63 to maybe even a possible 65 now (IMHO).

No need to even mess around with a Dip etc!

THANKS AGAIN!


Chuck.
