Use a full-strength dip, use a toothpick to get some of the solution onto the spots on the coin. I've had SOME success with this... not a lot, and never tried with spots of that type, but I'd bet you could remove them. The area will be discolored, though, and you'll have to give the coin a full dip afterwards to bring it back to a more natural state.</p><p><br /></p><p>If it doesn't work, it's not a major loss... looks like an MS64FB at absolute best.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
