Cleaning question

Hello all, I have a Morgan silver dollar with a black smudge on the obverse. I have no idea what caused it and have not tried to remove it. Can anyone give me any suggestions to try that will not damage the overall condition (AU) ? Thanks for any help that you can offer.

    You can try soaking it in acetone for a few days and see if it loosens it enough that running water will remove it.

    Was it near the hooka for a while?....I hate those kind of black stains.........oh......wrong forumimage

    I would leave it if its not spreading, getting worse. Plus if its an AU whats the big deal unless its a good date. then again.......its only an AU, so practice your conservaratory skills on the lesser coins.

    Wheres my hooka?
    Family, kids, coins, sports (playing not watching), jet skiing, wakeboarding, Big Air....no one ever got hurt in the air....its the sudden stop that hurts. I hate Hurricane Sandy. I hate FEMA and i hate the blasted insurance companies.
