I love this coin and am glad you had it preserved and the surface spot removed.
IMO coin doctoring is more related to artificially toning to cover up surface issues, plugging up holes, defects with putty and using an abrasion to clean off the entire surface of a coin undetected. Preservation as done here is OK.
If in a few years we see no changes to the surface, then it will be considered stable and good to go.

I agree except for this...Even the dull gray spot could have been "fixed" making the coin "doctored" yet more attractive!
