What would cause a blackish spot on a 2013 one ounce gold 0.9999 CML? Wasn't there just a few weeks ago. Do spots like that reduce the value?

    May lower premium, does not reduce the gold value.

    White spots on the silver maples, black spots on the gold maples, maybe green spots for the palladium maples?

    Gotta be one of the alloys, most likely copper. You musta got a .9555 by mistake

    Could be a surface contaminant of some sort.
