It likely still won&#039;t improve the finish if it was embedded but should arrest it from going further. The discoloration ring around it will spread out further over time if it isn&#039;t or can&#039;t be removed.</p><p><br /></p><p>The 2009 S is 95% copper so it&#039;s not a simple zincoln proof. I personally wouldn&#039;t release it into circulation of it doesn&#039;t work out. It&#039;s just not gonna be a perfect example anymore but still a nice coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
