I bought a one ounce silver panda 2009 from APMEX,when I first bought it, it was nice and shiny, a year later a brown spot started to appear on the coin  . did anyone happen to them before? should I try to take it out or I will destroy the value of the   the only test I did with it, is the magnetid and sound test. could this be fake?

no it came in the regular capsule, I removed it with gloves and placed it in the new capsule, which I regret.

I would return it for a replacement coin.

Looks like oxidation (tarnish) or a toning spot. At some point it was probably handled or touched and the oil from a finger or something got on the coin and caused a toning spot. Toning or tarnish is a natural chemical process that happens to silver over time. Unless it was there when you bought it, APMEX will not replace it. Edited by denco7

Curious as to why you replaced the capsule it came with?
