<p>[QUOTE="C Jay, post: 382527, member: 13184"]First off, let me state that I am new at this. I bought my first Silver Eagle last January and now want to start building a collection. Last March I ordered 4 2008 W Uncirculated from the mint and got rev 07's. I ordered 4 more later and got what I was actually hoping, rev 08's. I sent these off to NGC in hopes of getting a MS-69 and MS-70 matched sets so I could study the coins and learn to spot the difference. One coin, which I thought was the worst came back MS-70. The coin has two shiny spots, one above the white wing tip and one around the lower stem of the N in ONE. I searched the archieve and found a thread about 2006 Silver Eagles having spots but no information on the cause or how it effect grading. I also goggled the internet and found A.) Silver is shiny and B.) Shiny spots on coins are called "Shiny Spots". I need some help here. My intention is to keep 2 sets and ebay 2 sets. I would like an evaluation so I can honestly list what I have. Also, should it go back to NGC for a re-grade?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
