<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Atarian, post: 1672480, member: 34285&quot;]Well after carefully examining my meager selection of bullion and proof coins, I&#039;ve come to the conclusion that this is a pretty big problem for those who collect higher end/graded examples. I&#039;ve found spots on:</p><p><br /></p><p>2011 Mexico Libertad PCGS PR69DCAM</p><p>2012 China Panda NCG MS70ER (this one was probably the worst as far as total area covered)</p><p>2011 Israel Dead Sea 2NIS PCGS PR69DCAM</p><p>2011 Israel Dead Sea 2NIS in the OGP</p><p>2003 Silver Eagle NGC MS69</p><p>2004 Silver Eagle - raw (one small spot)</p><p>2012 ASE 3 different mint-marked and non mint-marked coins PCGS MS69</p><p>2010 Israel Jonah in the Whale 2NIS in the OGP</p><p><br /></p><p>The Panda was unspotted when I received it. Now it looks horrible. The others have not changed much/at all since I received them (I think), but then again they may have. Wasn&#039;t really paying attention much until now. I have about 8 graded ASEs and 1/2 of them have spots.</p><p><br /></p><p>What to do? - Cut losses and get out of the graded bullion market altogether? (although the foreign proofs I don&#039;t consider bullion)</p><p>Don&#039;t buy any silver that&#039;s .999 fine? (although for now the ASE proofs seem to be OK - at least mine are).</p><p><br /></p><p>As per a previous thread, what if the mint (or whoever) gets their way and the modern commems go to .999 fine. It seems likely the problem will spread?</p><p><br /></p><p>This is really irritating that this problem cannot be solved...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
