<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kirkuleez, post: 1435344, member: 36864&quot;]i think Doug is referring to the small amount of dust that settles on the coins before encapsulation.&nbsp;&nbsp; This dust can be anything from dust from drywall at the mint to tiny particles of skin.&nbsp; Over time, this dust will discolor and mark the coins in non favorable ways.&nbsp; A good example is this 1909 liberty nickle, notice all of the carbon spots that have darkened over the years.&nbsp; This is likely the result of dust on the coin as well as someone breathing on the coin years ago.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH]175923.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
