This one is headed to NGC soon:

Any tips on getting rid of that spot, first? It just bugs me, but I can't see it real well since it is rather small... of course, I don't want to do any damage to the coin

Thanks,

Jeremy

WOW, that is a beautiful coin, personally I wouldn't know exactally what to do, so I would just leave it alone, im like that.

<< <i>which spot? >>

Right above the word liberty.

Sometimes, if you put the coin in a device that will hold it by the rims and run scalding hot H2O over it for a couple hours, those spots will come off. But then, it could affect the toning, so I wouldn't try it.

I agree--I don't want to risk hurting the color--it'd have to be a method that could be done with (literally) pin-point accuracy, or close to it.
