<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 5369088, member: 112&quot;]There&#039;s two possibilities. The spotting you&#039;re seeing, and that&#039;s what it is - spotting, was caused by something that got on the coin before it was packaged in the pliofilm - saliva droplets more likely than not.</p><p><br /></p><p>The second possibility is that it&#039;s a fake set, and yeah there are some fake sets out there. And they are often packaged and sold with the original paperwork. </p><p><br /></p><p>What happens is someone finds a very nice original set, usually a CAM or DCAM. They remove the coins, get them graded and sell them individually. They they take genuine, but lesser quality coins, (sometimes spotted in the same way) put them in new packaging and sell them as original sets.</p><p><br /></p><p>About the only way one can identify the fake sets is by the pattern stamped into the pliofilm around the edges and in between the coins. It&#039;s different than it is with genuine original sets. And it&#039;s usually required that you the two sets - original and fake - side by side so you can tell the difference. Sometimes you can do it with pics but not always.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
