Ok, serious question, now that we're all done laughing. Wouldn't using a very stiff brush, like the silver-bristled brush mentioned previously,...
I wonder if a resubmission or some professional conservation might change the outcome on this one. Tough break.

@KoinJester: are you going to submit it raw or in its holder?
Sounds like it's perfectly legal to own or give away a counterfeit, and many contemporary counterfeits are arguably genuine numismatic items in...
Sounds cool. I've never heard of the Billion Dollar Showcase, though, and Google isn't being helpful for me to find it. What is it? And does...

Wow, nothing in CA huh? :(
Education and amusement. Two of my favorite counterfeits I saw at the coin dealer I went to the other day were a reasonably good-looking Trade...

Your last photo seems to show a tool mark leading up to the mint mark. If that's the case, probably someone got bored and scraped off half the...

Most likely corrosion/environmental damage.
