Just lack of enforcement.
And have you ever seen what happens at a shop when they buy someone's clad set that was put together by cutting up mint sets? They tend to pop...
With "carbon spots" yes. (little dab of organic mater that decomposes and the organic acids cause halo toning in different shades of brown around...
Looks like a genuine California Fractional.
But most likely this fake IS gold. It hasn't been since the first fake slabs started showing up back in 2007.
