I have never heard of this and I don't see how it applies to a new coin that is .999 gold unlike the earlier 90% coins. Got any idea what this ebay claim is all about? http://cgi.ebay.com/2006-PROOF-BUFF...iewItemQQptZCoins_Bullion?hash=item2a05f0bb1d The article... http://blog.jtcoins.com/red-spots-on-coinsvery-good-article.html
I am not a gold coin collector, but have read a lot about them. I think this is just some buyer trying to use a new catchy phrase. But I could be wrong...or he is referring to the mint luster and does not know what it is called? Regards, Stan
It looks to me like he's saying that spots on gold coins are good. Possibly experienced gold collectors don't mind copper spots - I wouldn't want any coins with copper spots. Unless I'm mistaken, a 24k coin won't have enough copper to spot. But, I could be wrong.
The guy already has 1,246 dollars bid on this raw coin that he is claiming has spots. I don't get the selling point because the article was referring to older coins anyway. Am I missing something here? :headbang:
If you search this site for "red spots gold", you will find many threads dealing with this question. Here is one such: http://www.cointalk.com/t89390/ The seller is trying to make the best of his situation, but there is some sense to it , in that even if there are some red spots, it shouldn't have any great deleterious price reduction, unless it is the already over-inflated price ( IMO) of modern coins. Anyway, the threads in such a search will not give definite answers, but you might enjoy the "dancing" which occurs within them. Jim
Of course, everyone likes their beer FULLY KROSSENED, and made with 100% PURE ARTESIAN SPRING WATER. Might was well have it Kosher too. Come get your fully krossen, Artesian, kosher gold coins, everyone!
