Get aggressive then. Get a dental pick and scrape it out of there. If it will not stop, as its custodian you owe it to the coin to stop it....
Gresham's Law only deals within a currency. Originally I believe you were trying to say silver or gold USD would drive base metal coins from...

Verdicare to get it stopped from spreading. Apply some to the spot, let it sit for an hour, and wipe off with an old white tshirt. Our member...
