Curious to know what this spot might be and if I should expect that it will grow.

If I tilt the coin into the light I do not see any difference in the coin's finish in that area.

Huh, that's funny! I have a mint set that has the same thing! Must be a mistake made in the mint.

Sometimes they are spots, other times they are carbon spots. But leave then alone as proof coins scratch/scuff and look tampered with with the lightest affect attempted on them. If they look real bad, just spend them.

Being that it is DDR-3, I think I'll take the 'wait and see' approach, LOL.

Thanks for the reply.

Can we get a full picture of the DDR cent?

There you go.

Sorry, the distant shots from the USB microscope don't look so good so had to switch to cell phone pics [which are marginally better]. Also, in a flip.
