<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 960154, member: 15199"]Well the second photo doesn't really help much. Carbon spots on silver are not really related to carbon, but to sulfur, and yes on silver coins, the thio-acid dips would remove it with risk of damage to the luster. From what I can see of the second photo, is that my advice would be to leave it alone, and store safely so the process doesn't increase. If I couldn't live with it , sell and rebuy a different one, but if that wasn't possible, leave alone. If raw, might be worth a try, but not graded and slabbed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
