Man that's rough... since the casule's already been opened you might as well take it to a jeweler and let them clean the marked coin. If you don't want to do that, put on your white cotton gloves and use a soft cloth to shine the offender. If the print isn't too grasey this should work.

Good luck!

U.S. proof sets don't have gold coins in them, It must be some other kind of set, or not from here. Gold is a forgiving metal, for even the sea can't damage it to bad. I have seen encrusted gold coins that had it removed and the coins were just like the day they minted it. Take it to a coin dealer and have him dip it for you. You need it done by someone that knows what they are doing and has the right cleaner.
