<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BadThad, post: 8074205, member: 17261&quot;]Since 2009 the mint has had issues with black water spots. In my experience, the slabbed coins are given bumps for having &quot;less spots&quot;.&nbsp; It&#039;s fairly tough to find shield cents without a lot of hits. When you do find one - it seems to have a lot of spotting. For me as a collector, it was an exercise in futility trying to find examples that I liked. I have basically stopped collecting anything since 2009 because of these spots. I just don&#039;t like &#039;em![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
