[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 744268, member: 112"]The coin appears to be in a slab - is it ? If it is then there is little you can do except to store it properly. And rather obviously you could not remove the spots without cracking it out of the slab. That would be a mistake for a couple of reasons. First of all, those spots will not come off without harming the coin. They are not carbon spots, they appear to have been caused by saliva or moisture droplets on the coin. And even attempting to remove them would cause the coin to become ungradeable. So it would serve no purpose to even try. To answer your last question, you either don't buy the coin or you learn to accept it as is. Should such spots develop after you buy it, and they can, then you either accept it or sell it and get another.[/QUOTE]
