Beauty 1923 Peace With Spots, What Can I do?

This coin came from my dad, I think is a beautiful coin and difficult to photograph due to the PL surfaces. Is there anything I can do about the spots without dipping which will remove the luster? I'll do VAM research tomorrow night.

Thanks for your help.

  • That coin is gorgeous and frosty, but I HATE SPOTS on Peace Dollars (an all other coins, for that matter). When I was searching for coins for my Type Set, I sent many coins back due to spots like that. I don't know of anything that can be done, and dipping would likely harm the luster.

    Looks live PVC, a pure acetone bath should do the trick.

  • Often times those types of spots can't be removed, at least by any process I'm familiar with. They won't even dip off.

    I'm pretty sure it's not PVC.

    That's too bad 'cause that coin's got some killer luster! What would NCS do that a dip or acetone won't touch??
