[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 2927180, member: 10461"]This was my instinctive reaction, too. At least 50%. But it's hard for me to make that determination, since an issue like that would be a dealbreaker for me, and I'd rather just pass and get something better looking, even if it was slightly lower grade. This is one of those questions whose answer depends on the coin and the opinion of the individual collector. Some people would consider that coin ruined. Others might see an opportunity there. Asking what could be done to clean that one up is not a bad question. It could indeed benefit from some careful conservation, but without seeing the coin in hand, I'd be reluctant to advise how to proceed. Personally, I'd just pass and forget about it, but if [I]you [/I]don't find it that objectionable and want a "project coin" to tinker around with, and could get it at a deep discount, then why not?[/QUOTE]
