I had purchased a lot of 5 1932 Washington quarters and all look good except this one. It looks as if it was burned or something in those lines.. is there a safe way to remove these marks without damaging the coins or reduce the spots to make smaller? Thank you in advance!
It looks like oxidised silver. Unless it's a scarce year - it might not even be worth doing anything... Give acetone bath a shot but I think it's unlikely to do much difference.
