<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sean the Coin Collector, post: 1817210, member: 56404&quot;]Question #1 They are called &quot;strawberries&quot; and can range from orange to bright red like blood. They are caused by impurities in the air during minting and react depending on storage, most places that mint gold mint other metals and the dust is in the air and gets stamped onto the surface of the bar or coin where it reacts with sulfur and other contaminates in the air.</p><p><br /></p><p>The intercept shield boxes can not fix the fact the coins have impurities, basically if the coins are exposed to the right air temp and conditions weather it is in the intercept shield box or not it can still cause the reaction which will result in spots on the coin. Also intercept shield boxes are not airtight more or less allowing the reaction to take place !![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
