<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1568816, member: 112"]Can't be sure but it looks like 2 different things happened. 1 - some tiny specks of organic material were on the coin when it was holdered. (or they might even be tiny specks of the cardboard holder itself) Over time that material decayed causing some of those spots. 2 - it looks like the mylar has a small tear (or holes) in it which allowed to the coin to tone at those locations.</p><p><br /></p><p>What can you do about it ? First thing would be to put it in a new holder. To remove the spots about all you can do is dip the coin. But - if you don't know what that means, or even if you do know what it means but have never done it yourself - you don't want to do it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
