Old spot removal or carbon spot?

Once again I am back with a spot on a certified coin that I cannot identify. I wish there was some sort of database identifying examples of various blemishes and whether or not they should be of concern. This one wasn't viewable on the sellers pictures but I have bought coins from him in the past and have always been satisfied. Its a rather original looking walker, one of the last 3 needed to complete my short set. However right on liberties neck and shoulder is some sort of goldish/silver spot that I cannot identify. Barely noticeable until you tilt the coin. Is it just a carbon blemish or a spot removal that left gunk on the coin?
1943 S by the way.

Thats my fear is PVC. I know it can show up after slabbing. However this appears way more gold and silver than green in hand. I have to believe it wasnt there when it was slabbed and sent to CAC.
No idea
But you’re not rectifying it while it’s in the holder.
Send it back with pictures.
I see what you're talking about ... other than that I cannot offer an opinion.
