I've seen this on other proofs that and I always thought that this was a defect. Is this not something that would count against a proof coin? Sorry, can't take high res photos under magnification.

From that description, it sounds like a droplet of spittle(tiny speck) that was not visible at the time of certification and subsequently developed a tarnish spot(halo). Report this Post to the Staff

The TPG's have to be gnashing their teeth about this. Slabbing new coins is their only growth opportunity, and by pursuing it they open themselves to problems like the one quoted here.
