This is the best scan I can get of it. There is a toning spot on the cap from when this was in a 2x2 w/broken mylar. I submitted a 1900 with a spot like this and PCGS graded it 65. Question is, aside from the grade, would any of you dip this (I don't dip) for the toning spot? The worst thing I see on this is a hit (somewhat hidden) in the hair above the ear. That's a mark near the jaw, not a scratch. On the reverse, the worst is an extremely shallow hit in the field at 3:00 between wing & wreath. The scanner also fails to show frosty devices, especially the stars, date, lettering. Anyway, dip the spot or leave it (didn't seem to matter on the 1900). I only need this one to go 64 to make it worthwhile. Thanks!

MS64 either way, though.
Were it me, I would leave the coin as is. BUT, if that spot bothers you, then go ahead an get rid of it.
Place about a coffee cup full of water (I prefer distilled water, but tap is o.k. too) in a cereal bowl and mix a tablespoon or two of baking soda into the water. You could try to set a dip bowl up with half water and half Jewluster or just dip the coin in the jewel luster very quickly and immediately place it in the baking soda water and move it around, while still holding on to the edges, in there for a few seconds and then rinse throughly with running tap water. The baking soda neutralizes the affects of the dip. Shake the excess water off the coin and lightly pat it (turning it over as you do) with either a lint free cloth or paper towel. Allow to sit for an hour or two before placing in a 2 X 2 or other holder.
As I say, I wouldn't dip this coin, but if that spot bothers you, then I would......then again, if it bothers me, I probably wouldn't have bought it in the first place.
Good luck! Pete
