<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 1972770, member: 15199"]To me it appears to have been dipped in the past, and the smudge is a remnant of dark tone. Acetone would take off black marker/ink transfer, etc, but not some black tone. If you really want it graded, I would try water, isopropyl alcohol, acetone all just washing over, no swabs or such, and if it was still there, a quick diluted dip and rinse, and if it was still there, decide whether to send like that or not. Most 81-S are struck well, and it takes a high grade to really make slabbing worth it for me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
