Is this just toning or are these carbon spots that will be detrimental to this this half. Thankyou in advance! It is already NGC slabbed at PR65.

T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 01/31/2022 2:13 pm Those black spots don't look like toning to me . I can see your concern . Were they there before or after it was slabbed ? Report this Post to the Staff
