<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WillGK, post: 5187200, member: 115517&quot;]I’ve had this coin for over 40 years.&nbsp; I have been out of collecting since then, what with family and life taking priority.&nbsp; When I bought this coin I don’t recall that it had that spot to the left of Liberty’s right arm.&nbsp; Now I am getting ready to sell my coins and this one has a problem that I have to deal with.</p><p><br /></p><p>I thought that this might be an old cleaning of a dark spot.&nbsp; A friend suggested that it might be putty, which makes more sense; putty can apparently change color with time and even though I had no idea what I was doing when I bought this coin I don’t think that I would have overlooked this spot if it was visible. </p><p><br /></p><p>I never knew about puttied coins until a couple of months ago, when I started getting my better coins graded.&nbsp; I learned that I own a half dozen coins that have been doctored with putty, grr.&nbsp; When I found this out I tried soaking them in acetone and the putty came right off and the acetone was harmless.&nbsp; I can find out if this coin is puttied by soaking it, but I don’t feel that I should do anything without getting some expert advice from Seated Liberty collectors, here.&nbsp; Do I try soaking it?&nbsp; Do I send it in to the grader as is?&nbsp; Do I send it in and see if there is a conservation possibility?&nbsp; I’m wondering what you would do if this were your coin and you wanted to sell it. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.postimg.cc/dtWPxV1b/1821-D2-F0-7512-43-C7-9-B2-B-9-C13-A1-D749-CC.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://i.postimg.cc/Nj5qqv25/37371-FA9-7-E66-43-BB-9-A41-CF7751160-FBF.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://i.postimg.cc/YCZctDQ8/A9-D95-E60-90-CD-49-A4-811-F-B930900-C002-E.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
