<p>[QUOTE="Yacorie, post: 1254393, member: 25257"]I have a question that I was hoping to get some help with. Recently, I purchased a pretty good assortment of coins with a few bank notes for a good price. I've been going through the coins since so many of them were purchased at melt or near melt and came across this one. This appears to be an pretty original coin with pretty good detail on both the obverse and reverse. The problem is those red marks on the obverse of the coin. They are located at about 10'oclock and at the date. To me, it really looks like someone colored this coin at some point with a red wax pencil or crayon. What can I do - if anything - to remove whatever this is? Or should I just leave it alone and just suck it up. </p><p><br /></p><p>I apologize for the photos - I've been working on trying to take better ones but I just winged these to be able to post and get your opinions. The white marks are from the camera and the color is darker than it appears in these photos - it's a gorgeous coin imo.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks in advance.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-k0xxiPoDIe8/TlmJIh3PtpI/AAAAAAAAEGs/xHKxrn4cG-o/s800/P8271284.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-mdlUR8FMHjM/TlmJIuAVzdI/AAAAAAAAEHA/V_sO-na72uA/s800/P8271278.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-lXPor-YdegU/TlmJI9l1AyI/AAAAAAAAEG0/xDV0s081ZS8/s800/P8271280.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Zcbhj66szeE/TlmJK_M-EzI/AAAAAAAAEG4/E1pBjMzCMmY/s800/P8271281.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>d[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
