You may remove the spots, but the surface underneath will not match the rest of the coin. You'll trade in white spots for different colored spots.
Thanks for the compliment. I try to be thoughtful as well as polite in my responses as I feel that my words have a permanence when I publish them...
All the more reason to frequent this forum. There are several dealers here that would be happy to help you find what you're looking for, but...
You don't have to be crazy. Knowing the person you're buying it from works well too.
