[QUOTE="doug444, post: 1558266, member: 38849"]I have seen several brand names of "spot removers" cussed and discussed in the CT forums. Advice requested. I have an uncirculated 1951 Canadian half (80% silver) with a 2mm spot on the obverse. Under 10x, the spot is black gunk, with greenish verdigris-like stain all around it. Yes, I know, a green stain on a [U]silver[/U] coin seems counter-intuitive, but it's there. Please discuss some of the trade chemicals for removing it, by brand name; considering the relatively small value of the coin, and the modest increase in value from removing the spot, no "fix" should cost over $5.[/QUOTE]
