    No serious buyer wants a Saint with copper spots, CAC sticker or no CAC sticker!!

    There seems to be very few cac saints on the market right now- spots or no spots

    John will buy each coin the same whether it does have spots or not
    may the fonz be with you...always...

    Correct. I once asked John about this. He simply stated that it lends to the fact the coin hasn't been messed with and he doesn't have a problem with it.

    I for one like the spots if they're aesthetically pleasing. Blanket statements are stupid.

    Last time I dealt with Liz, it was a very negative experience. Wouldn't recommend it.

    Personally, I find copper spots on gold to be a distraction. They may not represent corrosion damage, but they are still a distraction in much the same way that an otherwise nice Large Cent isn't quite as nice because it wasn't evenly-struck.

    I don't like spots and would prefer an MS65 Saint with not spots over an MS66
    with spots. Just me.

    I much prefer spots on one than a greasy conserved gold coin.

    I don't collect Saints (just books about them)but I don't think a few copper spots would bother me.One of the few Morgan dollars that I own has a spot where some foreign material landed and burned into the coin when the piece,an 1880-S PCGS graded MS64,was struck.

    Melting point of Au 1064ᴼ C. When mixing the metals for alloy,don't forget to turn up the heat a little more to melt the copper properly;melting point of Cu 1085ᴼ C.

    If it happened at the Mint,I generally be cool with it.(unless the happening involves 1933 double-eagles)image

    Saints with copper spots are a no go for me. Sticker means nothing to me, I look at the coin under a glass before deciding to buy. Spotted coins set aside. In the old days this is what mail order dealers would try to stick you with......now they think a sticker will accomplish the deed lol.

    I avoid gold coins with copper spots.

    Agree. I don't like copper spots on gold. I'll let the CAC dealers buy them all.image
