<p>[QUOTE="Insider, post: 2429835, member: 24314"]I agree, the stuff on the letters looks like gunk that can be removed; yet possibly leaving a stained surface. There are other spots formed from corrosion. A good way to tell is to look closely at the spots next to the "5" and on the "A." You should see a tiny, raised, black lump in the center. That is the foreign matter or more likely the corrosion "debris" coming up from the coins surface. The "black" color around the lumps is call the "reaction ring" of discoloration that often accompanies these lumps.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
