Carbon Spots

Do carbon spots on Red Lincolns tend to stay the same or get worse ?
this assumes the coin is slabbed.

in theory they should remain unchanged, but...thats in theory,not reality.

may be too how your store the carbon-spotted slabbed coins.
in the garage attic they might get worse...

Good question. I thin it depends on the storage method. I have seen them get worse and stay the same. I can't tell you for sure that they would do either from my experience.

Even if the spot itself stays the same, it can have an effect on any possible
future toning. Sometimes a ring of toning forms around a spot and kind of
acts as a bullseye to draw even more attention to itself!

I sent NCS a Indian cent about a year and half ago with a moderate carbon spot and had it forwarded to NGC. The spot was gone but you could see where it was- they did good on this part. The part I did not like was that the whole coin changed from a nice original color to a greasy messed with color- I refer to this as the NCS look. No more for me. mike
