[QUOTE="7Jags, post: 4407859, member: 78719"]This has been published in a couple of places, but after seeing a gold 2014 Kennedy 50c Proof with such a spot on another board with all kinds of "suggestions" which were to generally just accept it or sell it, I showed a simple conserving procedure on my own. Also, many of you may have some gold with these annoying spots that can actually be dealt with pretty easily. Before:[ATTACH=full]1107049[/ATTACH] I then got a white microwaveable cereal bowl Put 3 tablespoons of baking soda in some tap water (1/2 full bowl) Microwaved on high for 2 1/2 minutes Put in aluminum foil (I just put a piece about 4 x 5 inches) Set coin on top of aluminum foil in the near boiling water Let sit about 3 minutes. After: [ATTACH=full]1107052[/ATTACH] Sorry about the photo skills. But it was an excellent result for about 5 cents worth of materials, that were non-toxic. Nothing special, but it works and is easily done. I showed this in the world section because I have some gold Libertads and Isle of Man gold that have similar spots. I need to dig them out on this Corona weekend and show results if people are interested.[/QUOTE]
