[QUOTE="fred13, post: 1420544, member: 20688"]Good Afternoon, As of today I have just about purchased the following gold coin. It is quite rare and I need it to further my collection. It is graded ms 64 by NGC. Whenever I view the coin straight it exhibits prroflike fields and no spots or dots of any kind. When I raise it to the light however it shows numerous spots. The spots appear dark reddish but I am not sure if they are copper spots or carbon spots. I am happy with how the coin looks regardless of the spots. I have been waiting a long time to purchase it and finding another is no easy task. My only concern is will the spotting increase and is damage to the coin possible? Granted the coin will be in a safety deposit box with no humidity in an intercept shield holder in addition to its ngc holder. Please any thoughts. I have researched extensively about copper and carbon spots and have read much about how carbon spots can damage a coin but I remain confused on this one.
