<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1823429, member: 112&quot;]Black marks like that on gold are often nothing more than where the coin came into contact with something, like if the coin were slid across the counter in a store or business. I&#039;m not sure why the gold sometimes turns black when that happens, but it does happen. Other times it is nothing more than ordinary dirt and grime that may have accumulated in the recesses and protected areas during the course of circulation. On the coin in question, given where the black is (low areas instead of high points) and the fact that the coin is definitely circulated, that would be my guess.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
