<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 8588514, member: 101855&quot;]The chances of avoiding carbon spots improve if you buy coins that have never been dipped. Dipping exposes virgin metal which is more susceptible to them. </p><p><br /></p><p>Another factor is to avoid getting your breath anywhere around your coins. Silvia is a major source for this problem. Sneezing on a coin is a recipe for disaster. </p><p><br /></p><p>The trouble is it’s impossible to know a coin’s history. Buying coins in old slabs is one strategy. Given proper storage, (e.g. no storage in the attic or garage) you probably will never have a problem with silver, nickel or gold. Red copper has its own issues.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
