Overall this coin looks great, way better in hand. Only problem I really have is AP forgot to use a tissue. Is there something that can be done to the green area on the obv. or do you think I should just leave it?
Thanks. :)

Grind flat with dddp tools and then either have a brlightly shining field or repatinate.
However, I would not be 100% certain that when you grind away it is stable and dense enough to allow you to smooth it out. It could be so crumbly in there or have a deep, soft BD cavity that you end up with a giant pit in the field.
So what is worse?? The mucuousy blob you currently have or a big pit??
I would be very wary myself as head-cold aside it is a nice coin as is.

I wouldnt want a pit, or to repatinate it :-X hehe

I agree with Shawn. You could grind it down, but you would probably be left with pink junk at best.

Thanks both :)
I think I'll just leave it as is then :-\
