Are the black spots on Lincolns the Mint fighting collectors from circulation?

Ending bulk hoarding or these coins "Since they all got spots" You realize without that spotting issue you could pluck out the 69's and 68's like a breeze. So the mint booby traps them with this spray and they laugh behind closed doors since now no serious collectors are stocking away bricks of new cents....for future gain and investment...cause they are all spoTted
It will be a real SIN if they plow on into 2009 with theses special commerative lincolns,....and they spray that black spot stuff on them
It would be interesting to get an offiicial Mint response to this spotting situation, and how they intend to correct it.

Ugh

I agree with ricko, and, more than likely, everyone else that replies to this thread.

Pluck out 68's and 9's..........ummmm I don't think so! I've been through 15,000+ 2008's and have not seen anything near a 69 from rolls even w/o spots.
carry no insurance policy for these things turning in the slab (they pay claims out of current earnings, according to their
10k)
or any other `minor imperfections`
and they probably would be the first to state that that is why they make proof sets anyway.
its a cruel numismatic world i know but, what can you do.

i wanted to think up a parody to show some higher degree of paranoia, i failed, ricko is right.
