Could a black spot on a coin like this be removed with out much difficulty?

look just as funky. If it's a carbon spot, live with it.

This is very true.
There was a post about a gold coin sent to NCS for restoration to remove carbon spotting, and
although the spotting was removed, the areas of the coins that were under the spots ended
up being a different color than the rest of the coin.

Because the owner of the coin may not want it removed.
Their only job is to grade the coin, not remove spotting.
Thank You,

If you do try acetone, let me know how it turns out. I have a toned peace dollar with a similar spot of "something".
