[QUOTE="Insider, post: 2410127, member: 24314"]This is a question like which twin to kill. Both sides have good points. While the dot of red wax may make future pedigree tracing slightly slower, the marks on the coin and its shape will confirm the ID easily. No one should argue that the eye will be drawn first to the red blob (detracting) so removal will make the coin more attractive overall. Since the wax is an inert imperfection, leaving it on will not hurt the coin's surface. Furthermore, it provides a nice story. If I know the story: Keep it on. If I were ignorant of the coin's past: Remove it. Now, off to "Google" the American/European Grading Service :yuck:[/QUOTE]
