    This is a good time to bring up a question. How do the grading services look at spots on a coin like this? Do they knock it down a grade or so?

    The sharpness is VF-25, but the spots knock it down. The services might net grade it to Fine-15 or 12, or they might say “VF sharpness, environmental damage.

    There is a chance that an expert could lift the spots, but then there would lighter spots. I’d probably leave it alone.
