I was given this JFK when my father-in-law passed away a few years ago. It had resided in one of those little platic cases with the black construction paper, you know the memorial ones .... R.I.P... born.- died.-.
Anyway, the plastic case was cracked and had been scotch taped which explains the toning and the black stuff. Of course the piece has sentimental value and not just for me since so many of my father-in-laws great grandkids are into coins. I'd sure like to find out the best way to get that gunk out of Jack's ear so I can pass this one along someday.

Have you tried soaking in acetone? Not doctoring, per se, and won't harm the coin/tone. Good chance to get rid of the black gunk.....hopefully it hasn't eaten into the metal...if it has, then you will have a pit.
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
I can do that. I've heard folks mention toothpicks. Is that safe to use?
Of course if it pits it will prolly be less distracting than it is now.
