Nothing I can do about this spot...
Meltdown
Posts: 9,247 ✭✭✭✭✭
I've had this in my type set for ten years now. The obverse spot has grown darker over the years.
I suppose I'm stuck with it. I love the coin, but your eye is instantly drawn to it...

Laser it.

I'm trying not to see it but you're right.....
I tried to blow it up, it looks like grease almost... assuming it could be removed there would be dis-coloration underneath, right?
You can try a qtip with acetone and lightly dabbing it. That would lighten it up by removing some of the grease, if it was indeed grease (or dirt). In my experience though, those spots are impossible to remove. It's more likely a carbon spot and you're stuck with it.
With that being said, it doesn't really bother me. If the placement were the cheek then I would think differently, but in the folds of the drapery it isn't as bad imo.
Try dipping it. Or if it's worth it send it in to get conserved (ie cleaning but "proper")
Dipping would likely result in an unnaturally bright looking coin with a (maybe lighter) spot still on it.
Don't dip it! The outcome won't be good
Leave it alone. If you remove that dark spot you'll have a white spot that will look just as bad and alert future buyers that you messed with this coin.

Yeah, no way I'm dipping a circulated coin like this. I'd considered the acetone and q-tip but pretty sure I'd just make a clean spot that would stand out just the same and then it'd be a "slightly messed with" coin... An argument can be made that this bustie was once already lightly cleaned.
I don't think a spot of acetone will create a clean spot. If lightly dabbed it may lighten up the spot... if it's dirt or grease. More likely, it wouldn't do anything in my experience.
I agree with your assessment that it's likely it was already lightly cleaned.
Would a judicious use of MS70 on just the spot be of help to at least lighten it some and reduce some of the contrast? The goal, I think, is to reduce the contrast more than totally remove the spot.
that's still a nice coin
That's not that bad of a spot in my opinion. If it was MS65 and blast white, and had that spot, maybe then, but as it is now, not that bad in my opinion.

I'd leave it alone.
Put the whole coin in a small glass container with enough acetone to cover the coin. After a minute or two, take a wooden toothpick and lightly poke at the spot. It should come off. I doubt that it will be white underneath.
Not much of a distraction, in my opinion, just lays claim to its originality.
Just say it's a brooch and live with it. It doesn't bug me on a coin like this. It's still a nice type example.
Doesn't bug me. Nice looking coin

Is there a reason you can’t get one you like more and sell this one? It isn’t going to bother you any less in the future.
Things like that bug me too but given the overall look of the coin, it's not that bad.
You could try soaking it in a mild neutral oil, such as mineral oil, to see if the spot would lighten up.
I knew it would happen.
Perfectly acceptable for a circulated coin like that.
Dipping it would only destroy its originality and make it unnaturally shiny.

A nice old, circulated coin with lots of grime in the devices. The spot does not offend me too much at all.
I really understand your concern, that spot would draw my eye to it in a heartbeat. Your best bet is to sell it and find another that does not bother you when you view the coin.

Never a slave to one plastic brand will I ever be.
Well sure. I just may do that though like I said, I do really like the coin. I've recently had my type album out and open more in the past week than I have in a couple years. I took a few a few new pics just for fun and noticed the spot was quite a bit darker than I remembered so I got to thinking about it...
Of course the other bump in the road is money... I have expensive tastes and a poor man's budget.
Leave it alone.
I would leave it as is....Sure, it is a bit of a distraction, but to be expected on old coins like this.... Nice reverse die crack....Cheers, RickO
If it bugs you, sell it. It is a very replaceable date in that, or any, condition.

it's not a bad spot, just a bad location. the time to do something about it was 10 years ago.
You don’t appear to have any good choices.
I'd just leave it.
How is the dark spot any different than all those areas of the coin where there is dark areas near the date, bust, stars and letters that is the most original part of the coin untouched when it was originally cleaned. Clean fields and dirt next to the raised areas are a telltale sign of a cleaning wouldn't you say?
A white spot will attract even more attention than a dark one. Just leave it as is.
