<p>[QUOTE="gatzdon, post: 285340, member: 8247"]It was crud, but instead of having a small noticeable spot, I later had a larger dull area. Didn't make a difference in value as it was a circulated proof, but I was amazed at how easy it was to mar the surface. Now, if acetone or thioureic acid doesn't take it off, it stays. (that's another point worth making, don't use thioureic acid on older coins, the acid dip will make the pits visible to the naked eye. The newer the coin, the less likely there is to be any pits, but if the coin has any value, why take the gamble).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
