<p>[QUOTE=&quot;oval_man, post: 2776060, member: 22602&quot;]There are quite a few &quot;black areas&quot; and it&#039;s hard to tell what they all are. I don&#039;t see any technical &quot;carbon spots&quot;: symmetrical black &quot;powdery&quot; mounds that will spread over time. Other areas look like &quot;crud&quot; and still others, tarnish (possibly the remnants of a dip).</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know how PCGS handles cleaning. I have a nice &#039;40 large cent that had had several carbon spots removed by NCS (before I purchased it) and it helped bump the grade from 65 to 66. I would vote for cleaning if they can get rid of all this stuff, if the coin is worth it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d be interested in seeing the results of this one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
