<p>[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 1804701, member: 15309"]The spots are commonly referred to as "carbon spots". If they are large enough they absolutely can detrimentally affect the grade of the coin. However, I can't even see them on your coin so I think you are good. I have a 1939-D Jefferson Nickel NGC MS67 that has some light carbon spotting on Jefferson's forehead that can be seen with the naked eye. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels/JeffersonNickel1939-DRevof38NGCM-14.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
