<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 185510, member: 112&quot;]It is also possible the dark coloring is just an advanced stage of toning - or it could have been a buried find as stated. Either way, such dark toning is often harmful once it has progressed that far and it may be causing corrosion. If it is, removing it is the way to go, but it may well reveal pitting and other damage - or it may not. This is the chance you take with such coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>That being said, I am going to guess that the coin has more sentimental value to you than anything else. So I would probably be inclined to leave it alone, but store it in such a manner that further toning is prevented.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
