<p>[QUOTE="Vertigo, post: 7668523, member: 118430"]So I don't know how well you can see in the pictures. On the obverse across the upper area of liberty's head there are those dark spots. Under the loupe the spots are pitted. I'm guessing this is some kind of corrosion? I placed it in some hardware store acetone in a glass jar yesterday. The black is nearly gone now compared to what it was. The pitting obviously isn't. I'm not concerned about it being details or whatever. I just want to prevent further damage. IMO the coin is still a nice looking coin. If that is corrosion is there anything else I can do to help prevent it? Once I get done with the acetone and distilled water rinse I will place it in an air tite. [ATTACH=full]1317761[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1317762[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
