<p>[QUOTE=&quot;princeofwaldo, post: 1420584, member: 24091&quot;]I would say the spots are little more than evidence of the coin being original and never cleaned.&nbsp; I&#039;ve got several gold coins in my collection with spots, this Czech piece being the most spotted.&nbsp; Color gradations and spotting on gold coins is not really a negative provided the coin still has a nice overall appealing appearance to it.&nbsp; On silver coins, that&#039;s a different story.&nbsp; If a coin has so much spotting that it looks like it was fished from a tar pit, generally I avoid the coin, --even if its a finest known specimen.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]172975.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
