Fact indeed and well said! Mint State means no wear, plain and simple, accepted in numismatics since the advent of the Sheldon scale in 1949....
These spots are common, you'll find them to some degree on every coin. Sadly, they are permanent and cannot be removed by anything I've tried,...
Hallelujah!
WTH? I would have at least picked out a nice one to send in....in fact, I would have to have deemed it nearly flawless to be worth the expense and...

LOL! Seriously, I build/repair PC's, perhaps I could help to avoid a repeat performance. Also, my brother who lives there builds/repairs PC's. He...
I got mine last week! YAY!
