2009 Proof Gold Buff question

ponderitponderit Posts: 1,544 ✭✭✭✭✭
I've posted this question over on the US Coin Forum yesterday but only got one response regarding the spots. I thought I'd post it here as well to see what you folks had to say.

I have a simple question, actually 4. My proof buff has developed a small reddish purple spot on the obverse. What is causing it, will it get worse, and will it keed it from grading? I assume it would grade but kill any chance it might have at 70?
Thanks,
Bill

The answer received from the other forum was:
1. Mint Employee Contamination, ie cough, sneeze.
2. Yes
3. No
4. Yes

I had a 4 piece 2008 ms set. The $50.00 and the $5.00 developed what I called Buffalo Pox.
I watched them over 18 months get larger, just like a cancer.
I sold them, just to get rid of them.


Are you folks in agreement?
Thanks, Bill

    Thanks derryb, very helpful and informative... my conclusion, I've got way too much other crap to worry about!
    Have a great day...
