But I don't think that's necessary. The major concern I have is that those blackish patches look like deposits on the surface of the coin that have been there for decades. I don't know how easy they would be for the conservator to remove, and whether or not they'd cause uneven coloration afterwards. I suppose that depends on how skilled your conservator is.</p><p><br /></p><p>I still say "nahh", but if you <i>do</i> choose to go for it, I look forward to seeing how it comes out.
