    I don't think it can be improved. But beings its a RPM, I wouldn't touch it. Find a common coin with the same thing on it and experiment on it first.

    I think Verdicare and/or goo be gone would help some.

    I see that it is a RPM. Thus the advice not to tamper with it. Many times people try to adjust a coin and if they don't know what they are doing, ruin a collectable. So best to leave it alone in my opinion.

    To me it looks like part of a finger print. That doesn't remove.

    Can't see it from that photo, but I am using a cellphone.
    Or maybe I've "lost the edge."

    Jim, The coin is nice. What I would do is use a toothpic to dab the verdicare on the heavy spot. if it is just a fingerprint that doesn't have any green then leave it alone. The color will turn a bit lighter than the original color so be sparing when you dab. then blot with a ear swab. Eric

    I can't tell exactly what that is. Always try the polarity ladder FIRST:

    water
    acetone
    xylene
