<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 2738779, member: 19250&quot;][ATTACH=full]624868[/ATTACH] The coin unfortunately&nbsp; is what it is! As a nickel&nbsp; collector&nbsp; I can assure&nbsp; you&nbsp; that there is no fix! Please understand&nbsp; this.....I have several MS and Proof nickels that have had spots leach out even in slabs! They were perfect&nbsp; when sent in to a TPG, looked perfect&nbsp; when they came back and over time they surfaced.</p><p>I know the next question&nbsp; where were they stored? It doesn&#039;t&nbsp; matter&nbsp; what matters as stated by a few others these are carbon and copper&nbsp; spots.</p><p>These can&#039;t&nbsp; be removed&nbsp;&nbsp; as they aren&#039;t&nbsp; just on the surface&nbsp; they are in the alloy.</p><p>I totally&nbsp; feel your pain I have several nice coin some better varieties&nbsp; in Jefferson&nbsp; and Buffalo&nbsp; nickels. Once this starts there no fix, no removal , no arresting the chemical process! Again please&nbsp; don&#039;t&nbsp; shoot the messenger .....as that person can post coins as bad if not worse&nbsp; then what you&#039;re&nbsp; looking&nbsp; at .....and again if anyone&nbsp; tells you it can be fixed you&#039;re&nbsp; throwing&nbsp; good money after bad. I have again seen this on 100 year old coins as well as modern. I posted a beautiful&nbsp;&nbsp; proof cameo Jefferson&nbsp; nickel here</p><p>on CT it looked like Tom was being&nbsp; bleed out using leaches. It came from a roll of Proof Jefferson&nbsp; nickels smack dab in the middle&nbsp; of the roll kept in a cool dry place. No others&nbsp; in the roll had any issues&nbsp; or have had any!</p><p>My advice&nbsp; sell it at what ever someone will pay you and find another, this isn&#039;t&nbsp; worth the trouble&nbsp; of driving&nbsp; yourself nuts as again can&#039;t&nbsp; be&nbsp; fixed!&nbsp; It&#039;s&nbsp; like a cancer and yes it does spread.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
