Question for NCS-Carbon Spot on Clad Proof Half Dollar 0

[Mohawk]

Hello,

I have a question for NCS.  I recently came across a 1971-S Proof Kennedy Half Dollar of the DDO FS-101 variety.  It's a nice coin aside from one issue.....there's a pretty pronounced carbon spot in Kennedy's hair right below the E in Liberty on the obverse.  I was wondering if NCS is able to do anything about removing carbon spots or at least minimizing their appearance.

I thank you for your kind time and attention.  Both are very much appreciated!

My spot is bigger than yours! This is the reverse of my 2000-S $1 Sacagawea. I am quite fond of it and part of my keeper collection despite the carbon/toning spot.

Hey, if you like it Modwriter, it's a great coin to keep!  I asked about mine because, like all U.S. coins I acquire, I intend to sell it.  I sell U.S. coins to fund my collecting of ancient coins, so I want this half to do the best it possibly can at NGC.  I don't collect U.S. coins at all, personally.
