<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Nahuatl_19650, post: 2967604, member: 92529&quot;]Hi everyone,</p><p><br /></p><p>This is my first post here. An old coworker of mine got met started with gold coins when I was 18 after he needed some quick cash. I was never strategic about purchases in the past. I would just buy coins I&#039;d never seen before, and admire them whether good looking or not from Ebay (big mistake). I kid you not, I can spend hours sometimes just looking at coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, I went to a coin shop for the first time yesterday! I took all of my silver and general low value coins (most circulated Washington quarters, mercury dimes, some silver dollars, etc). All in all, I managed to get $400 for everything.</p><p><br /></p><p>I explained to the gentleman that I wanted something that would perhaps appreciate over the long run as I plan on holding my coins. I picked up the following for $600 (see below). I didn&#039;t do much research but it seemed like a good deal (too good perhaps?).</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, to the point; the coin looks great in the daylight. It also looks great under a lamp--until you move it around to certain angles (specifically, 180 degrees--upside down). There are these tiny dots. In the picture they don&#039;t look circular, but they are perfect circles as if something was sprinkled on the coin. I searched around and it appears that they can be carbon spots.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>What do you think they are? Will they get worse over time? The grade on the coin is MS66. Do you think that it had the spots when graded? Anyone else have this problem? </b></p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you. Moving forward, I want to be more strategic on the coins that I purchase.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
