<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hommer, post: 2248285, member: 73266&quot;]I understand what they are saying and understand why they are saying it. In my opinion, a black carbon spot on a coin, if it hasn&#039;t damaged it already, will soon enough.&nbsp; Eye appeal alone has significantly dropped its value.&nbsp; The same can be said of dipping it in an acidic solution.&nbsp; I had much rather have a coin where you may or may not see where a spot was removed,&nbsp; than a coin that&#039;s entire surface was stripped.&nbsp; I bought a MS 64 Peace dollar from a member on here, that because it had developed a carbon spot under the slab, he was willing to sell it below cost. I removed that spot and there is not a single collector on this board, other than he and I, who can find where it was.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
