Send it back to get it conserved by PCGS. Usually, putty can be removed with acetone.

Agreed, love to see it with the goop gone.

This is an old picture that has been around for a while. It’s in my “problem coins” file which I have used for presentations.
The coin can be restored by removing the putty. It can get a straight grade, but almost certainly lower than the original assigned number. The putty was used to fill in marks and covered with gold paint which breaks down after a while.
Yes, that is an old pic from a thread here many years back. I just looked up the cert number on PCGS and it looks like it may have been sent back to PCGS and cleaned up and reholdered as a straight grade coin.
